In some parts of our code, we make rather heavy use of casting
structures to their respective specialized implementation. One
example is the configuration code with the general
`git_config_backend` and the specialized `diskfile_header`
structures. At some occasions, it can get confusing though with
regards to the correct inheritance structure, which led to the
recent bug fixed in 2424e64c (config: harden our use of the
backend objects a bit, 2018-02-28).

Object-oriented programming in C is hard, but we can at least try
to have some checks when it comes to casting around stuff. Thus,
this commit introduces a `GIT_CONTAINER_OF` macro, which accepts
as parameters the pointer that is to be casted, the pointer it
should be cast to as well as the member inside of the target
structure that is the containing structure. This macro then tries
hard to detect mis-casts:

- It checks whether the source and target pointers are of the
  same type. This requires support by the compiler, as it makes
  use of the builtin `__builtin_types_compatible_p`.

- It checks whether the embedded member of the target structure
  is the first member. In order to make this a compile-time
  constant, the compiler-provided `__builtin_offsetof` is being
  used for this.

- It ties these two checks together by the compiler-builtin
  `__builtin_choose_expr`. Based on whether the previous two
  checks evaluate to `true`, the compiler will either compile in
  the correct cast, or it will output `(void)0`. The second case
  results in a compiler error, resulting in a compile-time check
  for wrong casts.

The only downside to this is that it relies heavily on
compiler-specific extensions. As both GCC and Clang support these
features, only define this macro like explained above in case
`__GNUC__` is set (Clang also defines `__GNUC__`). If the
compiler is not Clang or GCC, just go with a simple cast without
any additional checks.

patch_parse.c: Handle CRLF in parse_header_start

fix typo

sha1: don't inline `git_hash_global_init` for win32

ignore: treat paths with trailing "/" as directories

The function `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` is there to test the
ignore status of paths that need not necessarily exist inside of
a repository. This has the implication that for a given path, we
cannot always decide whether it references a directory or a file,
and we need to distinguish those cases because ignore rules may
treat those differently. E.g. given the following gitignore file:

    *
    !/**/

we'd only want to unignore directories, while keeping files
ignored. But still, calling `git_ignore_path_is_ignored("dir/")`
will say that this directory is ignored because it treats "dir/"
as a file path.

As said, the `is_ignored` function cannot always decide whether
the given path is a file or directory, and thus it may produce
wrong results in some cases. While this is unfixable in the
general case, we can do better when we are being passed a path
name with a trailing path separator (e.g. "dir/") and always
treat them as directories.

patch_parse: fix parsing addition/deletion of file with space

Optimize string comparisons

Users of the Win32 hash cannot be inlined, as it uses a static struct.
Don't inline it, but continue to declare the function in the header.

Negation of subdir ignore causes other subdirs to be unignored

According to reports, libgit2 is unable to read a global configuration
file that is simply a symlink to the real configuration. Write a
(succeeding) test that shows that libgit2 _is_ correctly able to do so.

While we do verify that we are able to open the global ".gitconfig" file
in config::global::open_global, we never verify that we it is in fact
readable. Do so by writing the global configuration file and verifying
that reading from it produces the expected values.

We've got reports that users are unable to open repos when their global
configuration ("~/.gitconfig") is a symlink. Add a test to verify that
we are in fact able to do so as expected.

Add a test that verifies that we are able to parse patches which add a
new file that has spaces in its path.

The diff header format is a strange beast in that it is inherently
unparseable in an unambiguous way. While parsing

    a/file.txt b/file.txt

is obvious and trivially doable, parsing a diff header of

    a/file b/file ab.txt b/file b/file ab.txt

is not (but in fact valid and created by git.git).

Due to that, we have relaxed our diff header parser in commit 80226b5f
(patch_parse: allow parsing ambiguous patch headers, 2017-09-22), so
that we started to bail out when seeing diff headers with spaces in
their file names. Instead, we try to use the "---" and "+++" lines,
which are unambiguous.

In some cases, though, we neither have a useable file name from the
header nor from the "---" or "+++" lines. This is the case when we have
a deletion or addition of a file with spaces: the header is unparseable
and the other lines will simply show "/dev/null". This trips our parsing
logic when we try to extract the prefix (the "a/" part) that is being
used in the path line, where we unconditionally try to dereference a
NULL pointer in such a scenario.

We can fix this by simply not trying to parse the prefix in cases where
we have no useable path name. That'd leave the parsed patch without
either `old_prefix` or `new_prefix` populated. But in fact such cases
are already handled by users of the patch object, which simply opt to
use the default prefixes in that case.

xdiff: fix typo

The config::global test suite creates various different directories and
files which are being populated with pretend-global files.
Unfortunately, the tests do not clean up after themselves, which may
cause subsequent tests to fail due to cruft left behind.

Fix this by always removing created directories and their contents.

docs: clarify relation of safe and forced checkout strategy

Each hash implementation should define `git_hash_global_init`

This means the forward declaration isn't necessary.  The forward
declaration can cause compilation errors as it conflicts with the
`GIT_INLINE` declaration (the signatures are different).

Matching on the prefix of a negated pattern was triggering false
negatives on siblings of that pattern. e.g.

Given the .gitignore:
dir/*
!dir/sub1/sub2/**

The path `dir/a.text` would not be ignored.

When a directory's contents are ignored, and then a glob negation is made to a nested subdir, other subdirectories are now unignored
