Various tests exercising the transfer.credentialsInUrl configuration
are taught to avoid making requests which require resolving localhost

* jk/avoid-localhost:
t5516/t5601: be less strict about the number of credential warnings
t5516: move plaintext-password tests from t5601 and t5516
It is unclear as to _why_, but under certain circumstances the warning
about credentials being passed as part of the URL seems to be swallowed
by the `git remote-https` helper in the Windows jobs of Git's CI builds.
Since it is not actually important how many times Git prints the
warning/error message, as long as it prints it at least once, let's just
make the test a bit more lenient and test for the latter instead of the
former, which works around these CI issues.

Commit 6dcbdc0d66 (remote: create fetch.credentialsInUrl config,
2022-06-06) added tests for our handling of passwords in URLs. Since the
obvious URL to be affected is git-over-http, the tests use http. However
they don't set up a test server; they just try to access
https://localhost, assuming it will fail (because the nothing is
listening there).
This causes some possible problems:
- There might be a web server running on localhost, and we do not
actually want to connect to that.
- The DNS resolver, or the local firewall, might take a substantial
amount of time (or forever, whichever comes first) to fail to
connect, slowing down the tests cases unnecessarily.
- Since there's no server, our tests for "allow" and "warn" still
expect the clone/fetch/push operations to fail, even though in the
real world we'd expect these to succeed. We scrape stderr to see
what happened, but it's not as robust as a more realistic test.
Let's instead move these to t5551, which is all about testing http and
where we have a real server. That eliminates any issues with contacting
a strange URL, and lets the "allow" and "warn" tests confirm that the
operation actually succeeds.
It's not quite a verbatim move for a few reasons:
- we can drop the LIBCURL dependency; it's already part of
lib-httpd.sh
- we'll use HTTPD_URL_USER_PASS, etc, instead of our fake URL. To
avoid repetition, we'll add a few extra variables.
- the "https://username:@localhost" test uses a funny URL that
lib-httpd.sh doesn't provide. We'll similarly construct it in a
variable. Note that we're hard-coding the lib-httpd username here,
but t5551 already does that everywhere.
- for the "domain:port" test, the URL provided by lib-httpd is fine,
since our test server will always be on an exotic port. But we'll
confirm in the test that this is so.
- since our message-matching is done via grep, I simplified it to use
a regex, rather than trying to massage lib-httpd's variables.
Arguably this makes it more readable, too, while retaining the bits
we care about: the fatal/warning distinction, the "uses plaintext"
message, and the fact that the password was redacted.
- we'll use the /auth/ path for the repo, which shows that we are
indeed making use of the auth information when needed.
- we'll also use /smart/; most of these tests could be done via /dumb/
in t5550, but setting up pushes there requires extra effort and
dependencies. The smart protocol is what most everyone is using
these days anyway.
This patch is my own, but I stole the analysis and a few bits of the
commit message from a patch by Johannes Schindelin.

Git has an additional "commit graph" capability that supplements the
normal commit object's directed acyclic graph (DAG). The supplemental
commit graph file is designed for speed of access.
Describe the commit graph both from the normative DAG view point and
from the commit graph file perspective.
Also, clarify the link between the branch ref and branch tip
by linking to the `ref` glossary entry, matching this commit graph
entry.
The commit-graph file is also distinguished by its hyphenation.
Subsequent commit catches the few cases where the hyphenation of
commit-graph was missing.

Julien Moutinho reports that in an environment where directory does
not have BSD group semantics and requires the g+s to be set (aka
FORCE_DIR_SET_GID), but the system forbids chmod() to touch the g+s
bit, adjust_shared_perm() fails even when the repository is for
private use with perm = 0600, because we unconditionally try to set
the g+s bit.
When we grant extra access based on group membership (i.e. the
directory has either g+r or g+w bit set), which group the directory
and its contents are owned by matters. But otherwise (e.g. perm is
set to 0600, in Julien's case), flipping g+s bit is not necessary.
