a70f8f19ad strbuf: introduce strbuf_addstrings() to repeatedly add a string
In a following commit we are going to port code from
"t/helper/test-sha256.c", t/helper/test-hash.c and "t/t0015-hash.sh" to
a new "t/unit-tests/t-hash.c" file using the recently added unit test
framework.

To port code like: perl -e "$| = 1; print q{aaaaaaaaaa} for 1..100000;"
we are going to need a new strbuf_addstrings() function that repeatedly
adds the same string a number of times to a buffer.

Such a strbuf_addstrings() function would already be useful in
"json-writer.c" and "builtin/submodule-helper.c" as both of these files
already have code that repeatedly adds the same string. So let's
introduce such a strbuf_addstrings() function in "strbuf.{c,h}" and use
it in both "json-writer.c" and "builtin/submodule-helper.c".

We use the "strbuf_addstrings" name as this way strbuf_addstr() and
strbuf_addstrings() would be similar for strings as strbuf_addch() and
strbuf_addchars() for characters.

15db4e7f4a treewide: remove unnecessary cache.h includes in source files
We had several C files include cache.h unnecessarily.  Replace those
with an include of "git-compat-util.h" instead.  Much like the previous
commit, these have all been verified via both ensuring that
    gcc -E $SOURCE_FILE | grep '"cache.h"'
found no hits and that
    make DEVELOPER=1 ${OBJECT_FILE_FOR_SOURCE_FILE}
successfully compiles without warnings.

5726a6b401 *.c *_init(): define in terms of corresponding *_INIT macro
Change the common patter in the codebase of duplicating the
initialization logic between an *_INIT macro and a
corresponding *_init() function to use the macro as the canonical
source of truth.

Now we no longer need to keep the function up-to-date with the macro
version. This implements a suggestion by Jeff King who found that
under -O2 [1] modern compilers will init new version in place without
the extra copy[1]. The performance of a single *_init() won't matter
in most cases, but even if it does we're going to be producing
efficient machine code to perform these operations.

75459410ed json_writer: new routines to create JSON data
Add "struct json_writer" and a series of jw_ routines to compose JSON
data into a string buffer.  The resulting string may then be printed by
commands wanting to support a JSON-like output format.

The json_writer is limited to correctly formatting structured data for
output.  It does not attempt to build an object model of the JSON data.

We say "JSON-like" because we do not enforce the Unicode (usually UTF-8)
requirement on string fields.  Internally, Git does not necessarily have
Unicode/UTF-8 data for most fields, so it is currently unclear the best
way to enforce that requirement.  For example, on Linux pathnames can
contain arbitrary 8-bit character data, so a command like "status" would
not know how to encode the reported pathnames.  We may want to revisit
this (or double encode such strings) in the future.
