"scalar" now enables built-in fsmonitor on enlisted repositories,
when able.
* vd/scalar-enables-fsmonitor:
scalar: update technical doc roadmap with FSMonitor support
scalar unregister: stop FSMonitor daemon
scalar: enable built-in FSMonitor on `register`
scalar: move config setting logic into its own function
scalar-delete: do not 'die()' in 'delete_enlistment()'
scalar-[un]register: clearly indicate source of error
scalar-unregister: handle error codes greater than 0
scalar: constrain enlistment search
Using the built-in FSMonitor makes many common commands quite a bit
faster. So let's teach the `scalar register` command to enable the
built-in FSMonitor and kick-start the fsmonitor--daemon process (for
convenience).
For simplicity, we only support the built-in FSMonitor (and no external
file system monitor such as e.g. Watchman).

Make the search for repository and enlistment root in
'setup_enlistment_directory()' more constrained to simplify behavior and
adhere to 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES'.
Previously, 'setup_enlistment_directory()' would check whether the provided
path (or current working directory) '<dir>' or its subdirectory '<dir>/src'
was a repository root. If not, the process would repeat on the parent of
'<dir>' until the repository was found or it reached the root of the
filesystem. This meant that a user could specify a path *anywhere* inside an
enlistment (including paths not in the repository contained within the
enlistment) and it would be found.
The downside to this process is that the search would not account for
'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES', so the upward search could result in modifying
repository contents past 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES'. Similarly, operations
like 'scalar delete' could end up unintentionally deleting the parent of a
repo if its root was named 'src'.
To make this 'setup_enlistment_directory()' both adhere to
'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES' and avoid unwanted deletions, the search for an
enlistment directory is simplified to:
- if '<dir>/src' is a repository root, '<dir>' is the enlistment root
- if '<dir>' is either the repository root or contained within a repository,
the repository root is the enlistment root
Now, only 'setup_git_directory()' (called by 'setup_enlistment_directory()')
searches upwards from the 'scalar' specified path, enforcing
'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES' in the process. Additionally, 'scalar delete
<dir>/src' will not delete '<dir>' (if users would like to delete it, they
can still specify the enlistment root with 'scalar delete <dir>'). This is
true of any 'scalar' operation; users can invoke 'scalar' on the enlistment
root, but paths must otherwise be inside the repository to be valid.
To help clarify the updated behavior, new tests are added to
't9099-scalar.sh'.
Finally, this change leaves 'strbuf_parent_directory()' with only a single,
WIN32-specific caller in 'delete_enlistment()'. Rather than wrap
'strbuf_parent_directory()' in '#ifdef WIN32' to avoid the "unused function"
compiler error, move the contents of 'strbuf_parent_directory()' into
'delete_enlistment()' and remove the function.

When operating at the scale that Scalar wants to support, certain data
shapes are more likely to cause undesirable performance issues, such as
large numbers of loose objects.
By including statistics about this, `scalar diagnose` now makes it
easier to identify such scenarios.

It's helpful to see if there are other crud files in the pack
directory. Let's teach the `scalar diagnose` command to gather
file size information about pack files.
While at it, also enumerate the pack files in the alternate
object directories, if any are registered.

Over the course of Scalar's development, it became obvious that there is
a need for a command that can gather all kinds of useful information
that can help identify the most typical problems with large
worktrees/repositories.
The `diagnose` command is the culmination of this hard-won knowledge: it
gathers the installed hooks, the config, a couple statistics describing
the data shape, among other pieces of information, and then wraps
everything up in a tidy, neat `.zip` archive.
Note: originally, Scalar was implemented in C# using the .NET API, where
we had the luxury of a comprehensive standard library that includes
basic functionality such as writing a `.zip` file. In the C version, we
lack such a commodity. Rather than introducing a dependency on, say,
libzip, we slightly abuse Git's `archive` machinery: we write out a
`.zip` of the empty try, augmented by a couple files that are added via
the `--add-file*` options. We are careful trying not to modify the
current repository in any way lest the very circumstances that required
`scalar diagnose` to be run are changed by the `diagnose` run itself.

The `scalar` command needs a Scalar enlistment for many subcommands, and
looks in the current directory for such an enlistment (traversing the
parent directories until it finds one).
These is subcommands can also be called with an optional argument
specifying the enlistment. Here, too, we traverse parent directories as
needed, until we find an enlistment.
However, if the specified directory does not even exist, or is not a
directory, we should stop right there, with an error message.

The `git` executable has these two very useful options:
-C <directory>:
switch to the specified directory before performing any actions
-c <key>=<value>:
temporarily configure this setting for the duration of the
specified scalar subcommand
With this commit, we teach the `scalar` executable the same trick.
Note: It might look like a good idea to try to reuse the
`handle_options()` function in `git.c` instead of replicating only the
`-c`/`-C` part. However, that function is not only not in `libgit.a`, it
is also intricately entangled with the rest of the code in `git.c` that
is necessary e.g. to handle `--paginate`. Besides, no other option
handled by that `handle_options()` function is relevant to Scalar,
therefore the cost of refactoring vastly would outweigh the benefit.

Delete an enlistment by first unregistering the repository and then
deleting the enlistment directory (usually the directory containing the
worktree `src/` directory).
On Windows, if the current directory is inside the enlistment's
directory, change to the parent of the enlistment directory, to allow us
to delete the enlistment (directories used by processes e.g. as current
working directories cannot be deleted on Windows).

This implements Scalar's opinionated `clone` command: it tries to use a
partial clone and sets up a sparse checkout by default. In contrast to
`git clone`, `scalar clone` sets up the worktree in the `src/`
subdirectory, to encourage a separation between the source files and the
build output (which helps Git tremendously because it avoids untracked
files that have to be specifically ignored when refreshing the index).
Also, it registers the repository for regular, scheduled maintenance,
and configures a flurry of configuration settings based on the
experience and experiments of the Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft
Office development teams.
Note: since the `scalar clone` command is by far the most commonly
called `scalar` subcommand, we document it at the top of the manual
page.

To test the Scalar command, create a test script in contrib/scalar/t
that is executed as `make -C contrib/scalar test`. Since Scalar has no
meaningful capabilities yet, the only test is rather simple. We will add
more tests in subsequent commits that introduce corresponding, new
functionality.
Note: This test script is intended to test `scalar` only lightly, even
after all of the functionality is implemented.
A more comprehensive functional (or: integration) test suite can be
found at https://github.com/microsoft/scalar; It is used in the workflow
https://github.com/microsoft/git/blob/HEAD/.github/workflows/scalar-functional-tests.yml
in Microsoft's Git fork. This test suite performs end-to-end tests with
a real remote repository, and is run as part of the regular CI and PR
builds in that fork.
Since those tests require some functionality supported only by
Microsoft's Git fork ("GVFS protocol"), there is no intention to port
that fuller test suite to `contrib/scalar/`.
