"git send-email" used to accept a mistaken "y" (or "yes") as an

The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it

We have a helper function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link
into the index even if the file system does not support symbolic links.
There is a small flaw in the emulation path: the added entry does not
pick up stat information of the fake symbolic link from the file system,
as a consequence, the index is not exactly the same as for the "regular"
path (where symbolic links are available). To fix this, just call
git update-index again.
This flaw was revealed by the earlier change that tightened
compare_diff_raw(), because a test case in t4008 depends on the
correctly updated index.

Since commit 3a0a3a89 ("git-compat-util.h: don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE
on cygwin", 23-11-2014) removed the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE on
cygwin, the code within a pre-processor conditional further down the
file became redundant. Remove the redundant code.

The URL for ssh may have include a username before the hostname,
like ssh://user@host/repo.
When literal IPV6 addresses are used together with a username,
the substring "user@[::1]" must be converted into "user@::1".

Test the parsing of literall IPV6 addresses more systematically:
- with and without brackets (e.g. ::1 [::1])
- with brackets and port number: (e.g. [::1]:22)
- with username (e.g. user@::1)
- with username and brackets:
Because user@[::1] was not supported on older Git version,
[user@::1] had to be used as a workaround.
Test that user@::1 user@[::1] and [user@::1] all do the same.

The ssh:// syntax was added in 2386d658 (Add first cut at "git
protocol" connect logic., 2005-07-13), it accepted
ssh://user@2001:db8::1/repo.git, which is now legacy.
Over the years the parser was improved to support [] and port numbers,
but the combination of ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git did
never work.
The only only way to use a user name, a literall IPV6 address and a port
number was ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git
(Thanks to Christian Taube <lists@hcf.yourweb.de> for reporting this long
standing issue)
New users would use ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git,
so change the parser to handle it correctly.
Support the old legacy URLs as well, to be backwards compatible,
and avoid regressions for users which upgrade an existing installation
to a later Git version.
