archive-tar.c and archive-zip.c now perform conversion check, with
help of sha1_file_to_archive() from archive.c
This gives backends more freedom in dealing with (streaming) large
blobs.

Some tar filters may be very expensive to run, so sites do
not want to expose them via upload-archive. This patch lets
users configure tar.<filter>.remote to turn them off.
By default, gzip filters are left on, as they are about as
expensive as creating zip archives.

The process for guessing an archive output format based on
the filename is something like this:
a. parse --output in cmd_archive; check the filename
against a static set of mapping heuristics (right now
it just matches ".zip" for zip files).
b. if found, stick a fake "--format=zip" at the beginning
of the arguments list (if the user did specify a
--format manually, the later option will override our
fake one)
c. if it's a remote call, ship the arguments to the remote
(including the fake), which will call write_archive on
their end
d. if it's local, ship the arguments to write_archive
locally
There are two problems:
1. The set of mappings is static and at too high a level.
The write_archive level is going to check config for
user-defined formats, some of which will specify
extensions. We need to delay lookup until those are
parsed, so we can match against them.
2. For a remote archive call, our set of mappings (or
formats) may not match the remote side's. This is OK in
practice right now, because all versions of git
understand "zip" and "tar". But as new formats are
added, there is going to be a mismatch between what the
client can do and what the remote server can do.
To fix (1), this patch refactors the location guessing to
happen at the write_archive level, instead of the
cmd_archive level. So instead of sticking a fake --format
field in the argv list, we actually pass a "name hint" down
the callchain; this hint is used at the appropriate time to
guess the format (if one hasn't been given already).
This patch leaves (2) unfixed. The name_hint is converted to
a "--format" option as before, and passed to the remote.
This means the local side's idea of how extensions map to
formats will take precedence.
Another option would be to pass the name hint to the remote
side and let the remote choose. This isn't a good idea for
two reasons:
1. There's no room in the protocol for passing that
information. We can pass a new argument, but older
versions of git on the server will choke on it.
2. Letting the remote side decide creates a silent
inconsistency in user experience. Consider the case
that the locally installed git knows about the "tar.gz"
format, but a remote server doesn't.
Running "git archive -o foo.tar.gz" will use the tar.gz
format. If we use --remote, and the local side chooses
the format, then we send "--format=tar.gz" to the
remote, which will complain about the unknown format.
But if we let the remote side choose the format, then
it will realize that it doesn't know about "tar.gz" and
output uncompressed tar without even issuing a warning.

The current archivers are very static; when you are in the
write_tar_archive function, you know you are writing a tar.
However, to facilitate runtime-configurable archivers
that will share a common write function we need to tell the
function which archiver was used.
As a convenience, we also provide an opaque data pointer in
the archiver struct so that individual archivers can put
something useful there when they register themselves.
Technically they could just use the "name" field to look in
an internal map of names to data, but this is much simpler.

Most of the tar and zip code was nicely split out into two
abstracted files which knew only about their specific
formats. The entry point to this code was a single "write
archive" function.
However, as these basic formats grow more complex (e.g., by
handling multiple file extensions and format names), a
static list of the entry point functions won't be enough.
Instead, let's provide a way for the tar and zip code to
tell the main archive code what they support by registering
archiver names and functions.

zlib_compression_level is the compression level used for git's object store.
It's 1 by default, which is the fastest setting. This variable is also used
as the default compression level for ZIP archives created by git archive.
For archives, however, zlib's own default of 6 is more appropriate, as it's
favouring small size over speed -- archive creation is not that performance
critical most of the time.
This patch makes git archive independent from git's internal compression
level setting. It affects invocations of git archive without explicitly
specified compression level option, only.

Replace the code that calls backend specific argument parsers by a
simple flag mechanism. This reduces code size and complexity.
We can add back such a mechanism (based on incremental parse_opt(),
perhaps) when we need it. The compression level parameter, though,
is going to be shared by future compressing backends like tgz.

Now that all file attribute handling for git archive has moved to archive.c,
we can unexport sha1_file_to_archive() and is_archive_path_ignored() even
disappears.
Add setup_archive_check(), modelled after similar functions used in the code
of other commands that support multiple file attributes.
Also remove convert_to_archive(), as it's only remaining function with
attribute handling gone was to call format_subst() if commit was not NULL,
which is now checked in sha1_file_to_archive().

Add the exported function write_archive_entries() to archive.c, which uses
the new ability of read_tree_recursive() to pass a context pointer to its
callback in order to centralize previously duplicated code.
The new callback function write_archive_entry() does the work that every
archiver backend needs to do: loading file contents, entering subdirectories,
handling file attributes, constructing the full path of the entry. All that
done, it calls the backend specific write_archive_entry_fn_t function.

Add support for a new attribute, specfile. Files marked as being
specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an
archive. It has no effect on worktree files. The same placeholders
as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be
used.
The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is
limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though.
E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output,
and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed
in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of
git-log, too.

git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).
