Recall that MSYS bash converts POSIX style absolute paths to Windows style
absolute paths. Unfortunately, it converts a program argument that begins
with a double-quote and otherwise looks like an absolute POSIX path, but
in doing so, it strips everything past the second double-quote[*]. This
case is triggered in the two test scripts. The work-around is to place the
Windows style path returned by $(pwd) between the quotes to avoid the path
conversion.
[*] It is already bogus that a conversion is even considered when a program
argument begins with a double-quote because it cannot be an absolute POSIX
path.

Currently textconv helpers are run directly. Running through
the shell is useful because the user can provide a program
with command line arguments, like "antiword -f".
It also makes textconv more consistent with other parts of
git, most of which run their helpers using the shell.
The downside is that textconv helpers with shell
metacharacters (like space) in the filename will be broken.

Expecting echo to recognise -n is a BSDism. Using printf is far more
portable.

This diff is meant for human consumption, so it makes sense
to apply text conversion here, as we would for the regular
diff porcelain.

These tests provide a basic sanity check that textconv'd
files work. The tests try to describe how this configuration
_should_ work; thus some of the tests are marked to expect
failure.
In particular, we fail to actually textconv anything because
the 'diff.foo.binary' config option is not set, which will
be fixed in the next patch.
This also means that some "expect_failure" tests actually
seem to be fixed; in reality, this is just because textconv
is broken and its failure mode happens to make these tests
work.

We treat symlinks as text containing the results of the
symlink, so it doesn't make much sense to text-convert them.
Similarly gitlink components just end up as the text
"Subproject commit $sha1", which we should leave intact.
Note that a typechange may be broken into two parts: the
removal of the old part and the addition of the new. In that
case, we _do_ show the textconv for any part which is the
addition or removal of a file we would ordinarily textconv,
since it is purely acting on the file contents.

Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly
cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate
them in things like format-patch.
This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which
controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is
explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as
well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing).
Because both text conversion and external diffing are
controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the
"plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the
config. This was an attempt to control the same thing, but
suffered from being too coarse-grained.

The original implementation of textconv put the conversion
into fill_mmfile. This was a bad idea for a number of
reasons:
- it made the semantics of fill_mmfile unclear. In some
cases, it was allocating data (if a text conversion
occurred), and in some cases not (if we could use the
data directly from the filespec). But the caller had
no idea which had happened, and so didn't know whether
the memory should be freed
- similarly, the caller had no idea if a text conversion
had occurred, and so didn't know whether the contents
should be treated as binary or not. This meant that we
incorrectly guessed that text-converted content was
binary and didn't actually show it (unless the user
overrode us with "diff.foo.binary = false", which then
created problems in plumbing where the text conversion
did _not_ occur)
- not all callers of fill_mmfile want the text contents. In
particular, we don't really want diffstat, whitespace
checks, patch id generation, etc, to look at the
converted contents.
This patch pulls the conversion code directly into
builtin_diff, so that we only see the conversion when
generating an actual patch. We also then know whether we are
doing a conversion, so we can check the binary-ness and free
the data from the mmfile appropriately (the previous version
leaked quite badly when text conversion was used)
