26ae8da683 setup: add discover_git_directory_reason()
There are many reasons why discovering a Git directory may fail. In
particular, 8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for
the top-level directory, 2022-03-02) added ownership checks as a
security precaution.

Callers attempting to set up a Git directory may want to inform the user
about the reason for the failure. For that, expose the enum
discovery_result from within setup.c and move it into cache.h where
discover_git_directory() is defined.

I initially wanted to change the return type of discover_git_directory()
to be this enum, but several callers rely upon the "zero means success".
The two problems with this are:

1. The zero value of the enum is actually GIT_DIR_NONE, so nonpositive
   results are errors.

2. There are multiple successful states; positive results are
   successful.

It is worth noting that GIT_DIR_NONE is not returned, so we remove this
option from the enum. We must be careful to keep the successful reasons
as positive values, so they are given explicit positive values.

Instead of updating all callers immediately, add a new method,
discover_git_directory_reason(), and convert discover_git_directory() to
be a thin shim on top of it.

One thing that is important to note is that discover_git_directory()
previously returned -1 on error, so let's continue that into the future.
There is only one caller (in scalar.c) that depends on that signedness
instead of a non-zero check, so clean that up, too.

Because there are extra checks that discover_git_directory_reason() does
after setup_git_directory_gently_1(), there are other modes that can be
returned for failure states. Add these modes to the enum, but be sure to
explicitly add them as BUG() states in the switch of
setup_git_directory_gently().

e8cf8ef507 setup: adopt shared init-db & clone code
The functions init_db() and initialize_repository_version() were shared
by builtin/init-db.c and builtin/clone.c, and declared in cache.h.

Move these functions, plus their several helpers only used by these
functions, to setup.[ch].

Diff best viewed with `--color-moved`.
