This reverts refactoring done in 13224ea4
that introduces a performance regression for NFS when reading files that
don't exist. open() forces a cache invalidation on NFS, while stat()ing a
file just uses the cache and is very quick.

To give a specific example, say you have a repo with a thousand packed
refs. Before this change, looking up every single one ould incur a thousand
slow open() calls. With this change, it's a thousand fast stat() calls.

SSH username fixes

With the current code, running 'cmake .' in an already-configured
directory causes the removal of ssh flags passed to the compiler,
making it impossible to build with ssh support but by removing CMake's
cache.

Remove the check for LIBSSH2_LIBRARY and let CMake do the right thing
wrt finding the library.

Key-based authentication also needs an username, so include it in each
one.

Also stop assuming a default username of "git" in the ssh transport
which has no business making such a decision.

By the time we recognise this as an ambiguous id, the object's data
has been loaded into memory. Free it when returning EABMIGUOUS.

Fix issue 1766 - bugs in managing ignore file lists

Fixes to safely reading the index

This just cleans up the improved logic for popping ignore dirs
and documents why the complex behavior is needed.

The routines to push and pop ignore files while traversing a
directory had some issues. In particular, setting up the initial
list would sometimes push an ignore file before it ought to be
applied if the starting path was a directory containing an ignore
file. Also, the pop function was not always matching the right
part of the path and would fail to pop ignores from the list in
some cases.

This adds some tests that exercise a particular problematic case
and then fixes the problems that I could find related to this.

At some point, I'd like to isolate this ignore rule management
code and rewrite it, but that's a larger project and right now,
I'll opt to just try to fix the broken behaviors.

Revert PR #1462 and provide alternative fix

This rolls back the changes to fnmatch parsing from commit
2e40a60e except for the tests
that were added.  Instead this adds couple of new flags that can
be passed in when attempting to parse an fnmatch pattern.  Also,
this changes the pathspec match logic to special case matching a
filename with a '!' prefix against a negative pattern.

This fixes the build.

Add rename from rewrites to status

status: fix handling of filenames with special prefixes

config: allow setting  empty string as value

`git_config_set_string(config, "config.section", "")` fails when
escaping the value.

The buffer in `escape_value` is allocated without NULL-termination. And
in case of empty string 0 is passed for buffer size in `git_buf_grow`.

`git_buf_detach` returns NULL when the allocated size is 0 and that
leads to an error return in `GITERR_CHECK_ALLOC` called after
`escape_value`

The change in `config_file.c` was suggested by Russell Belfer <rb@github.com>

Avoid wrapping around extension size when reading, avoid walking off
the end of the buffer when reading names.

Add API for getting at git_diff_patch->content_size

Rename detection slow

odb_pack: handle duplicate objects from different packs

This is based on 24634c6f.

This also corrects an issue with error codes being mixed up with the
number of found objects.

Parse config headers with quoted quotes

Parse config headers that have the last quote on the
line quoted instead of walking off the end.

More tests for ambiguous OIDs across packs

The test coverage for ambiguous OIDs was pretty thin.  This adds
a bunch of new objects both in packs, across packs, and loose that
match to 8 characters so that we can test various cases of
ambiguous lookups.

submodule: check alloc and name presence

In git_diff_paired_foreach, temporarily resort the
index->workdir diff list by index path so that we can
track a rename in the workdir from head->index->workdir.

Fixes #1762

Create a new section of clar tests "stress" that will default to
being off where we can put slow tests that push the library for
performance testing purposes.

This restores the commented out tests (even though they're slow)
and fixes some trailing whitespace.

A rename test that illustrates a rename from a rewrite.

When using a rename source that is actually a to-be-split record,
we have to update the best-fit mapping data in both the case where
the target is also a split record and the case where the target
is a simple added record.  Before this commit, we were only doing
the update when the target was itself a split record (and even in
that case, the test was slightly wrong).

A rename test that illustrates a source matching multiple targets.

After doing further profiling, I found that a lot of time was
being spent attempting to insert hashes into the file hash
signature when using the rolling hash because the rolling hash
approach generates a hash per byte of the file instead of one
per run/line of data.

To optimize this, I decided to convert back to a run-based file
signature algorithm which would be more like core Git.

After changing this, a number of the existing tests started to
fail.  In some cases, this appears to have been because the test
was coded to be too specific to the particular results of the file
similarity metric and in some cases there appear to have been bugs
in the core rename detection code where only by the coincidence
of the file similarity scoring were the expected results being
generated.

This renames all the variables in the core rename detection code
to be more consistent and hopefully easier to follow which made it
a bit easier to reason about the behavior of that code and fix the
problems that I was seeing.  I think it's in better shape now.

There are a couple of tests now that attempt to stress test the
rename detection code and they are quite slow.  Most of the time
is spent setting up the test data on disk and in the index.  When
we roll out performance improvements for index insertion, it
should also speed up these tests I hope.

Allow Makefile.embed to be used when cross-compiling

This option is already present in the CMake config, but was missing from `Makefile.embed` and would cause all kinds of weird failures when compiling rugged on windows with the ruby devkit.

Fix possible double close
