Since v1.7.5~42^2~6 (vcs-svn: remove buffer_read_string)
buffer_reset() does nothing thus fast_export_reset() also.

All previous users of buffer_read_string have already been converted
to use the more intuitive buffer_read_binary, so remove the old API to
avoid some confusion.

buffer_read_string works well for non line-oriented input except for
one problem: it does not tell the caller how many bytes were actually
written. This means that unless one is very careful about checking
for errors (and eof) the calling program cannot tell the difference
between the string "foo" followed by an early end of file and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".
So introduce a variant that reports the length, too, a thinner wrapper
around strbuf_fread. Its result is written to a strbuf so the caller
does not need to keep track of the number of bytes read.

POSIX makes the behavior of read(2) from a pipe fairly clear: a read
from an empty pipe will block until there is data available and any
other read will not block, prefering to return a partial result.
Likewise, fread(3) and fgets(3) are clearly specified to act as
though implemented by calling fgetc(3) in a simple loop. But the
buffering behavior of fgetc is less clear.
Luckily, no sane platform is going to implement fgetc by calling the
equivalent of read(2) more than once. fgetc has to be able to
return without filling its buffer to preserve errno when errors are
encountered anyway. So let's assume the simpler behavior (trust) but
add some tests to catch insane platforms that violate that when they
come (verify).
First check that fread can handle a 0-length read from an empty fifo.
Because open(O_RDONLY) blocks until the writing end is open, open the
writing end of the fifo in advance in a subshell.
Next try short inputs from a pipe that is not filled all the way.
Lastly (two tests) try very large inputs from a pipe that will not fit
in the relevant buffers. The first of these tests reads a little
more than 8192 bytes, which is BUFSIZ (the size of stdio's buffers)
on this Linux machine. The second reads a little over 64 KiB (the
pipe capacity on Linux) and is not run unless requested by setting
the GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES environment variable.

Do not expect an implicit newline after each input record.
Use a separate command to exercise buffer_skip_bytes.

Imitate the input format of test-obj-pool to support arbitrary
sequences of commands rather than alternating read/copy. This should
make it easier to add tests that exercise other line_buffer functions.

Collect the line_buffer state in a newly public line_buffer struct.
Callers can use multiple line_buffers to manage input from multiple
files at a time.
svn-fe's delta applier will use this to stream a delta from svnrdump
and the preimage it applies to from fast-import at the same time.
The tests don't take advantage of the new features, but I think that's
okay. It is easier to find lingering examples of nonreentrant code by
searching for "static" in line_buffer.c.

This library provides thread-unsafe fgets()- and fread()-like
functions where the caller does not have to supply a buffer. It
maintains a couple of static buffers and provides an API to use
them.
[rr: allow input from files other than stdin]
[jn: with tests, documentation, and error handling improvements]
