The XDG base dir spec[1] specifies that configuration files be stored in
a subdirectory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. To construct such a configuration
file path, home_config_paths() can be used. However, home_config_paths()
combines distinct functionality:
1. Retrieve the home git config file path ~/.gitconfig
2. Construct the XDG config path of the file specified by `file`.
This function was introduced in commit 21cf3227 ("read (but not write)
from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file"). While the intention of the
function was to allow the home directory configuration file path and the
xdg directory configuration file path to be retrieved with one function
call, the hard-coding of the path ~/.gitconfig prevents it from being
used for other configuration files. Furthermore, retrieving a file path
relative to the user's home directory can be done with
expand_user_path(). Hence, it can be seen that home_config_paths()
introduces unnecessary complexity, especially if a user just wants to
retrieve the xdg config file path.
As such, implement a simpler function xdg_config_home() for constructing
the XDG base dir spec configuration file path. This function, together
with expand_user_path(), can replace all uses of home_config_paths().

t0302 now tests git-credential-store's support for the XDG user-specific
configuration file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials. Specifically:
* Ensure that the XDG file is strictly opt-in. It should not be created
by git at all times if it does not exist.
* Conversely, if the XDG file exists, ~/.git-credentials should
not be created at all times.
* If both the XDG file and ~/.git-credentials exists, then both files
should be used for credential lookups. However, credentials should
only be written to ~/.git-credentials.
* Credentials must be erased from both files.
* $XDG_CONFIG_HOME can be a custom directory set by the user as per the
XDG base directory specification. Test that git-credential-store
respects that, but defaults to "~/.config/git/credentials" if it does
not exist or is empty.

Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search
path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to
support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG
base directory specification[1].
[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials. This
means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg
file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or
outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user
some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg
directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config.
However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long
as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the
~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a
~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve
backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of
git-config.
To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new
section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of
precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and
erase operations.
Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the
operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided.
Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to
prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file
while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not
create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of
git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to
explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.

Previously, git-credential-store only supported storing credentials in a
single file: ~/.git-credentials. In order to support the XDG base
directory specification[1], git-credential-store needs to be able to
lookup and erase credentials from multiple files, as well as to pick the
appropriate file to write to so that the credentials can be found on
subsequent lookups.
[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
Note that some credential storage files may not be owned, readable or
writable by the user, as they may be system-wide files that are meant to
apply to every user.
Instead of a single file path, lookup_credential(), remove_credential()
and store_credential() now take a precedence-ordered string_list of
file paths. lookup_credential() expects both user-specific and
system-wide credential files to be provided to support the use case of
system administrators setting default credentials for users.
remove_credential() and store_credential() expect only the user-specific
credential files to be provided as usually the only config files that
users are allowed to edit are their own user-specific ones.
lookup_credential() will read these (user-specific and system-wide) file
paths in order until it finds the 1st matching credential and print it.
As some files may be private and thus unreadable, any file which cannot
be read will be ignored silently.
remove_credential() will erase credentials from all (user-specific)
files in the list. This is because if credentials are only erased from
the file with the highest precedence, a matching credential may still be
found in a file further down the list. (Note that due to the lockfile
code, this requires the directory to be writable, which should be so for
user-specific config files)
store_credential() will write the credentials to the first existing
(user-specific) file in the list. If none of the files in the list
exist, store_credential() will write to the filename specified by the
first item of the filename list. For backwards compatibility, this
filename should be "~/.git-credentials".

For some unknown reason, the dd on my Windows box segfaults randomly,
but since recently, it does so much more often than it used to, which
makes running the test suite burdensome.
Use printf to write large files instead of dd. To emphasize that three
of the large blobs are exact copies, use cp to allocate them.
The new code makes the files a bit smaller, and they are not sparse
anymore, but the tests do not depend on these properties. We do not want
to use test-genrandom here (which is used to generate large files
elsewhere in t1050), so that the files can be compressed well (which
keeps the run-time short).
The files are now large text files, not binary files. But since they
are larger than core.bigfilethreshold they are diagnosed as binary
by Git. For this reason, the 'git diff' tests that check the output
for "Binary files differ" still pass.
