All initialization functions now return error codes instead of pointers.
Error codes are now properly propagated on most functions. Several new
and more specific error codes have been added in common.h

String mememory is now managed in a much more sane manner.
Fixes include:
- git_person email and name is no longer limited to 64 characters
- git_tree_entry filename is no longer limited to 255 characters
- raw objects are properly opened & closed the minimum amount of
times required for parsing
- unit tests no longer leak
- removed 5 other misc memory leaks as reported by Valgrind
- tree writeback no longer segfaults on rare ocassions
The git_person struct is no longer public. It is now managed by the
library, and getter methods are in place to access its internal
attributes.

The 'git_obj' structure is now called 'git_rawobj', since
it represents a raw object read from the ODB.
The 'git_repository_object' structure is now called 'git_object',
since it's the base object class for all objects.

The old 'git_revpool' object has been removed and
split into two distinct objects with separate
functionality, in order to have separate methods for
object management and object walking.
* A new object 'git_repository' does the high-level
management of a repository's objects (commits, trees,
tags, etc) on top of a 'git_odb'.
Eventually, it will also manage other repository
attributes (e.g. tag resolution, references, etc).
See: src/git/repository.h
* A new external method
'git_repository_lookup(repo, oid, type)'
has been added to the 'git_repository' API.
All object lookups (git_XXX_lookup()) are now
wrappers to this method, and duplicated code
has been removed. The method does automatic type
checking and returns a generic 'git_revpool_object'
that can be cast to any specific object.
See: src/git/repository.h
* The external methods for object parsing of repository
objects (git_XXX_parse()) have been removed.
Loading objects from the repository is now managed
through the 'lookup' functions. These objects are
loaded with minimal information, and the relevant
parsing is done automatically when the user requests
any of the parsed attributes through accessor methods.
An attribute has been added to 'git_repository' in
order to force the parsing of all the repository objects
immediately after lookup.
See: src/git/commit.h
See: src/git/tag.h
See: src/git/tree.h
* The previous walking functionality of the revpool
is now found in 'git_revwalk', which does the actual
revision walking on a repository; the attributes
when walking through commits in a database have been
decoupled from the actual commit objects.
This increases performance when accessing commits
during the walk and allows to have several
'git_revwalk' instances working at the same time on
top of the same repository, without having to load
commits in memory several times.
See: src/git/revwalk.h
* The old 'git_revpool_table' has been renamed to
'git_hashtable' and now works as a generic hashtable
with support for any kind of object and custom hash
functions.
See: src/hashtable.h
* All the relevant unit tests have been updated, renamed
and grouped accordingly.

The 'parse_oid' and 'parse_person' methods which were used by the commit
parser are now global so they can be used when parsing other objects.
The 'git_commit_person' struct has been changed to a generic
'git_person'.

This error code indicates the OS error code has a better value
describing the last error, as it is likely a network or local
file IO problem identified by a C library function call.

We now forbid direct use of malloc, strdup or calloc within the
library and instead use wrapper functions git__malloc, etc. to
invoke the underlying library malloc and set git_errno to a no
memory error code if the allocation fails.
In the future once we have pack objects in memory we are likely
to enhance these routines with garbage collection logic to purge
cached pack data when allocations fail. Because the size of the
function will grow somewhat large, we don't want to mark them for
inline as gcc tends to aggressively inline, creating larger than
expected executables.

Since it doesn't make sense to make the disk access stuff
portable *AND* public (that's a job for each application
imo), we can take a shortcut and just support unixy stuff
for now and get away with coding most of it as macros.
Since we go with an internal API for starters and only
provide higher-level API's to the libgit users, we'll be
ok with this approach.

Since it's being added when we install the headers anyway,
we might as well get rid of it. If anything, we should point
coders to the COPYING file in the project's root directory
instead of duplicating the same (large-ish) text everywhere.

It's arguably smoother to keep them close to the source,
as that's where one's working when modifying them. More
importantly, though, is the ability to use private headers
in the src/ dir that simply include "git/$samename.h" to
get to the public API at the same time.
