Git's assumption that all path lists are colon-separated is not only
wrong on Windows, it is not even an assumption that is compatible with
POSIX.
In the interest of time, let's not try to fix this properly but simply
work around the obvious breakage on Windows, where the MSYS2 Bash used
by Git for Windows to interpret the Git's Unix shell scripts will
automagically convert path lists in the environment to
semicolon-separated lists of Windows paths (with drive letter and the
corresponding colon and all that jazz).
In other words, we simply look whether there is a semicolon in
GITPERLLIB and split by semicolons if found instead of colons. This is
not fool-proof, of course, as the path list could consist of a single
path. But that is not the case in Git for Windows' test suite, there are
always two paths in GITPERLLIB.

These function help read and write capabilities.
To make them more generic and make it easy to reuse them,
the following changes are made:
- we don't require capabilities to come in a fixed order,
- we allow duplicates,
- we check that the remote supports the capabilities we
advertise,
- we don't check if the remote declares any capability we
don't know about.
The reason behind the last change is that the protocol
should work using only the capabilities that both ends
support, and it should not stop working if one end starts
to advertise a new capability.
Despite those changes, we can still require a set of
capabilities, and die if one of them is not supported.

Since edcc8581 ("convert: add filter.<driver>.process
option", 2016-10-16) when t0021/rot13-filter.pl was created, list
comparison in this perl script have been quite broken.
packet_txt_read() returns a 2-element list, and the right hand
side of "eq" also has a list with (two, elements), but "eq" takes
the last element of the list on each side, and compares them. The
first elements (0 or 1) on the right hand side lists do not matter,
which means we do not require to see a flush at the end of the
version -- a simple empty string or an EOF would do, which is
definitely not what we want.

Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of
time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might
perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout
operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to
continue with the checkout.
Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add
filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status
"delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git
continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git
calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining
blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter
is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs
then an empty response is expected.
Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed
checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations
for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all
files of the tree are processed.

"rot13-filter.pl" always writes "OUT <size>" to the debug log at the end
of a response.
This works perfectly for the existing responses "abort", "error", and
"success". A new response "delayed", that will be introduced in a
subsequent patch, accepts the input without giving the filtered result
right away. At this point we cannot know the size of the response.
Therefore, we do not write "OUT <size>" for "delayed" responses.
To simplify the code we do not write "OUT <size>" for "abort" and
"error" responses either as their size is always zero.

Make this configurable by defining the log file as first parameter of

The rot13-filter.pl script calls methods on implicitly
defined filehandles (STDOUT, and the result of an open()
call). Prior to perl 5.13, these methods are not
automatically loaded, and perl will complain with:
Can't locate object method "flush" via package "IO::Handle"
Let's explicitly load IO::File (which inherits from
IO::Handle). That's more than we need for just "flush", but
matches what perl has done since:

The rot13-filter.pl script hardcodes "#!/usr/bin/perl", and
does not respect $PERL_PATH at all. That is a problem if the
system does not have perl at that path, or if it has a perl
that is too old to run a complicated script like the
rot13-filter (but PERL_PATH points to a more modern one).
We can fix this by using write_script() to create a new copy
of the script with the correct #!-line. In theory we could
move the whole script inside t0021-conversion.sh rather than
having it as an auxiliary file, but it's long enough that
it just makes things harder to read.
As a bonus, we can stop using the full path to the script in
the filter-process config we add (because the trash
directory is in our PATH). Not only is this shorter, but it
sidesteps any shell-quoting issues. The original was broken
when $TEST_DIRECTORY contained a space, because it was
interpolated in the outer script.

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for
every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of
blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become
a significant part of the overall Git execution time.
In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge
filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s
with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See
details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382
This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if
used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs
with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and
standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in
`Documentation/gitattributes.txt`.
A few key decisions:
* The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol
version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is
considered version 1.
* Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the
external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not
hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the
filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition,
Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user.
* The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set
before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the
response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if
the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate
this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the
response.
* All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush
packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same
protocol in the future.
