The previous fix for checking file sizes with rename detection
always loads the blob.  In this version, if the odb backend can
get the object header without loading the whole thing into memory,
then we'll just use that, so that we can eliminate possible rename
sources & targets without loading them.

The performance improvements I introduced for rename detection
were not able to run successfully for tree-to-tree diffs because
the blob size was not known early enough and so the file signature
always had to be calculated nonetheless.

This change separates loading blobs into memory from calculating
the signature.  I can't avoid having to load the large blobs into
memory, but by moving it forward, I'm able to avoid the signature
calculation if the blob won't come into play for renames.

Before the optimization commits, this test used to take about 20
seconds to run on my machine.  Afterwards, there is still a couple
seconds of data setup, but the actual diff and rename detection
runs in a fraction of a second.

Doc fixes

The description of what the function does hasn't been true for quite a
while. Change it to reflect the way it currently works.

While here, remove an even older comment about missing features that
have been implemented.

clang's docparser highlighted these.

Invalid refs on disk cause revwalk globbing to fail

The new tests don't always want to use the same fixture data as
the old ones so this makes it configurable on a per-test basis.

Instead of using lots of strdup calls, this adds a memory pool to
the loose refs iteration code and uses it for keeping track of the
loose refs array.  Memory usage could probably be reduced even
further by eliminating the vector and just scanning by adding the
strlen of each ref, but that would be a more intrusive changes.

This also updates the error handling to be more thorough about
checking for failed allocations, etc.

The git_reference_next API silently skips invalid references when
scanning the loose refs.  The git_reference_next_name API should
skip the same ones even though it isn't creating the reference
object.

This adds a test with a an invalid loose reference and makes sure
that both APIs skip the same entries and generate the same results.

Clarify when to use github issues

git_buf_text_gather_stats doesn't work for multi-byte characters

Suggest that github issues are to be used for bug reports, while questions about usage should be directed to StackOverflow.

questions.

Switch default calling convention to cdecl

git_revparse_ext: should return a NULL reference  when the revparse expression doesn't lead to a reference

don't include ignored as rename candidates
