Checkout should not reject binary files from filters, as a filter
may actually wish to operate on binary files. The CRLF filter should
reject binary files itself if it wishes to. Moreover, the CRLF
filter requires this logic so that users can emulate the checkout
data in their odb -> workdir filtering.

This makes the git_buf struct that was used internally into an
externally available structure and eliminates the git_buffer.
As part of that, some of the special cases that arose with the
externally used git_buffer were blended into the git_buf, such as
being careful about git_buf objects that may have a NULL ptr and
allowing for bufs with a valid ptr and size but zero asize as a
way of referring to externally owned data.
This adds the ident filter (that knows how to replace $Id$) and
tweaks the filter APIs and code so that git_filter_source objects
actually have the updated OID of the object being filtered when
it is a known value.
Extend the git2/sys/filter API with functions to look up a filter
and add it manually to a filter list. This requires some trickery
because the regular attribute lookups and checks are bypassed when
this happens, but in the right hands, it will allow a user to have
granular control over applying filters.
Increasingly there are a number of components that want to do some
cleanup at global shutdown time (at least if there are not going
to be memory leaks). This creates a very simple system of shutdown
hooks that will be invoked by git_threads_shutdown. Right now, the
maximum number of hooks is hardcoded, but since adding a hook is
not a public API, it should be fine and I thought it was better to
start off with really simple code.
This moves the git_filter_list into the public API so that users
can create, apply, and dispose of filter lists. This allows more
granular application of filters to user data outside of libgit2
internals.
This also converts all the internal usage of filters to the public
APIs along with a few small tweaks to make it easier to use the
public git_buffer stuff alongside the internal git_buf.
The filter registry as implemented was too primitive to actually
work once multiple filters were coming into play. This expands
the implementation of the registry to handle multiple prioritized
filters correctly.
Additionally, this adds an "attributes" field to a filter that
makes it really really easy to implement filters that are based
on one or more attribute values. The lookup and even simple value
checking can all happen automatically without custom filter code.
Lastly, with the registry improvements, this fills out the filter
lifecycle callbacks, with initialize and shutdown callbacks that
will be called before the filter is first used and after it is
last invoked. This allows for system-wide initialization and
cleanup by the filter.
This creates include/sys/filter.h with a basic definition of a
git_filter and then converts the internal code to use it. There
are related internal objects (git_filter_list) that we will want
to publish at some point, but this is a first step.
This begins the process of exposing git_filter objects to the
public API. This includes:
* new public type and API for `git_buffer` through which an
allocated buffer can be passed to the user
* new API `git_blob_filtered_content`
* make the git_filter type and GIT_FILTER_TO_... constants public
Unfortunately git-core uses the term "unborn branch" and "orphan
branch" interchangeably. However, "orphan" is only really there for
the checkout command, which has the `--orphan` option so it doesn't
actually create the branch.
Branches never have parents, so the distinction of a branch with no
parents is odd to begin with. Crucially, the error messages deal with
unborn branches, so let's use that.
