The test prerequisite mechanism is a useful way to allow some tests
in a test script to be skipped in environments that do not support
certain features (e.g. it is pointless to attempt checking how well
symbolic links are handled by Git on filesystems that do not support
them). It is OK for commonly used prerequisites to be always tested
during start-up of a test script by having a codeblock that tests a
feature and calls test_set_prereq, but for an uncommon feature,
forcing 90% of scripts to pay the same probing overhead for
prerequisite they do not care about is wasteful.
Introduce a mechanism to probe the prerequiste lazily. Changes are:
- test_lazy_prereq () function, which takes the name of the
prerequisite it probes and the script to probe for it, is
added. This only registers the name of the prerequiste that can
be lazily probed and the script to eval (without running).
- test_have_prereq() function (which is used by test_expect_success
and also can be called directly by test scripts) learns to look
at the list of prerequisites that can be lazily probed, and the
prerequisites that have already been probed that way. When asked
for a prerequiste that can be but haven't been probed, the script
registered with an earlier call to test_lazy_prereq is evaluated
and the prerequisite is set.
- test_run_lazy_prereq_() function is a helper to run the probe
script with the same kind of sandbox as regular tests, helped by
Jeff King.
Update the codeblock to probe and set SYMLINKS prerequisite using
the new mechanism as an example.

Running the http tests with valgrind does not work for two
reasons:
1. Apache complains about following the symbolic link from
git-http-backend to valgrind.sh.
2. Apache does not pass through the GIT_VALGRIND variable
to the backend CGI.
This patch fixes both problems. Unfortunately, there is a
slight hack we need to handle passing environment variables
through Apache. If we just tell it:
PassEnv GIT_VALGRIND
then Apache will complain when GIT_VALGRIND is not set. If
we try:
SetEnv GIT_VALGRIND ${GIT_VALGRIND}
then when GIT_VALGRIND is not set, it will pass through the
literal "${GIT_VALGRIND}". Instead, we now unconditionally
pass through GIT_VALGRIND from lib-httpd.sh into apache,
even if it is empty.

There is a bug with git rebase -i --root when a fixup or squash line is
applied to the new root. We attempt to amend the commit onto which they
apply with git reset --soft HEAD^ followed by a normal commit. Unlike a
real commit --amend, this sequence will fail against a root commit as it
has no parent.
Fix rebase -i to use commit --amend for fixup and squash instead, and
add a test for the case of a fixup of the root commit.

If we don't have a core.attributesfile configured, we fall
back to checking XDG config, which is usually
$HOME/.config/git/attributes.
However, if $HOME is unset, then home_config_paths will return
NULL, and we end up calling fopen(NULL).
Depending on your system, this may or may not cause the
accompanying test to fail (e.g., on Linux and glibc, the
address will go straight to open, which will return EFAULT).
However, valgrind will reliably notice the error.

The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from
the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt
to check the author and committer identity early, before the
user has done any manual work like inputting a commit
message. That lets us abort without them having to worry
about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG.
The early check for committer ident does not use the
IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty
name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not
want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax
(for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not
care too much about a real name). However, because
commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the
commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to
die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will
have wasted time typing their commit message).
Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the
initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the
commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in
the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check
did not match the later one.

The advise() function takes a variable number of arguments
and converts them into a va_list object to pass to strbuf
for handling. However, we accidentally called strbuf_addf
(that takes a variable number of arguments) instead of
strbuf_vaddf (that takes a va_list).
This bug dates back to v1.7.8.1-1-g23cb5bf, but we never
noticed because none of the current callers passes a string
with a format specifier in it. And the compiler did not
notice because the format string is not available at
compile time.

block-sha1/ is fast on most known platforms. Clarify the Makefile to
be less misleading about that.
Early versions of block-sha1/ explicitly relied on fast htonl() and
fast 32-bit loads with arbitrary alignment. Now it uses those on some
arches but the default behavior is byte-at-a-time access for the sake
of arches like ARM, Alpha, and their kin and it is still pretty fast
on these arches (fast enough to supersede the mozilla SHA1
implementation and the hand-written ARM assembler implementation that
were bundled before).

With 660231aa (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory
alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12), blk_SHA1_Update was modified to
access 32-bit chunks of memory one byte at a time on arches that
prefer that:
#define get_be32(p) ( \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 0) << 24) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 1) << 16) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 2) << 8) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 3) << 0) )
The code previously accessed these values by just using htonl(*p).
Unfortunately, Michael noticed on an Alpha machine that git was using
plain 32-bit reads anyway. As soon as we convert a pointer to int *,
the compiler can assume that the object pointed to is correctly
aligned as an int (C99 section 6.3.2.3 "pointer conversions"
paragraph 7), and gcc takes full advantage by using a single 32-bit
load, resulting in a whole bunch of unaligned access traps.
So we need to obey the alignment constraints even when only dealing
with pointers instead of actual values. Do so by changing the type
of 'data' to void *. This patch renames 'data' to 'block' at the same
time to make sure all references are updated to reflect the new type.
