We cannot assume that Redis is never going to return an error code; when
Reddit fails, we cannot crash our library, we need to handle the crash
gracefully.

Although write_index() supports writing extended header versions for
index, this was never done as there was no check for extended index
entries.
Introduce function is_index_extended() that checks whether an index
contains extended entries and check whether an index is extended before
writing it to disk, adjusting its version number if necessary.
The git test repository was holding a wrongly named tag reference ("very-simple") pointing at a tag named "e90810b".
This mistake (mine :-/ ) originates back to https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/commit/9282e92
Whole credit goes to @tclem for having spotted this.
Streaming writes will no longer fail when writing to a backend that
doesn't support streaming writes but supports direct ones.
Now we create a fake stream on memory and then write it as a single
block using the backend `write` callback.
If we want debugging symbols, we most likely want them to point to the
right place. With -O2, gdb or valgrind may give wrong information.

Allow any well-formed reference name to live under refs/ removing the
condition that they be under refs/{heads,tags,remotes}/ as was the
design of git.
An exception is made for HEAD which is allowed to contain an OID
reference in detached HEAD state.

Add internal reference create and rename functions which take a force
parameter, telling them to overwrite an existing reference if it
exists.
These functions try to update the reference if it's of the same type
as the one it's going to be replaced by. Otherwise the old reference
becomes invalid.

Apologies for the massive changes in the external API (that's my fault),
and for the terrible codename for this release (that's @tclem's fault).
The detailed overview for the major API changes can be found in the
commit at 72a3fe42fb.
Major new features in this release:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
- Improved reference handling
- New method to list references
- ZLib is now built-in
- Improvements to the Revision Walker
- Tons of bug fixes
Thanks to all the contributors who make this possible.

Expose the tag parsing capabilities already present in the
library.
Exporting this function makes it possible to implement the
mktag command without duplicating this functionality.

List all the references in the repository, calling a custom
callback for each one.
The listed references may be filtered by type, or using
a bitwise OR of several types. Use the magic value
`GIT_REF_LISTALL` to obtain all references, including
packed ones.
The `callback` function will be called for each of the references
in the repository, and will receive the name of the reference and
the `payload` value passed to this method.
