In the preceding commit we have converted the reflog iterator of the
"files" backend to be ordered, which was the only remaining ref iterator
that wasn't ordered. Refactor the ref iterator infrastructure so that we
always assume iterators to be ordered, thus simplifying the code.

The purpose of `refs_init_db()` is to initialize the on-disk files of a
new ref database. The function is quite inflexible right now though, as
callers can neither specify the `struct ref_store` nor can they pass any
flags.
Refactor the interface to accept both of these. This will be required so
that we can start initializing per-worktree ref databases via the ref
backend instead of open-coding the initialization in "worktree.c".

In order to look up ref storage backends, we're currently using a linked
list of backends, where each backend is expected to set up its `next`
pointer to the next ref storage backend. This is kind of a weird setup
as backends need to be aware of other backends without much of a reason.
Refactor the code so that the array of backends is centrally defined in
"refs.c", where each backend is now identified by an integer constant.
Expose functions to translate from those integer constants to the name
and vice versa, which will be required by subsequent patches.

Enumerating refs in the packed-refs file, while excluding refs that
match certain patterns, has been optimized.
* tb/refs-exclusion-and-packed-refs:
ls-refs.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible
upload-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible
builtin/receive-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden references
refs.h: implement `hidden_refs_to_excludes()`
refs.h: let `for_each_namespaced_ref()` take excluded patterns
revision.h: store hidden refs in a `strvec`
refs/packed-backend.c: add trace2 counters for jump list
refs/packed-backend.c: implement jump lists to avoid excluded pattern(s)
refs/packed-backend.c: refactor `find_reference_location()`
refs: plumb `exclude_patterns` argument throughout
builtin/for-each-ref.c: add `--exclude` option
ref-filter.c: parameterize match functions over patterns
ref-filter: add `ref_filter_clear()`
ref-filter: clear reachable list pointers after freeing
ref-filter.h: provide `REF_FILTER_INIT`
refs.c: rename `ref_filter`
The subsequent patch will want to access an optional `excluded_patterns`
array within `refs/packed-backend.c` that will cull out certain
references matching any of the given patterns on a best-effort basis.
To do so, the refs subsystem needs to be updated to pass this value
across a number of different locations.
Prepare for a future patch by introducing this plumbing now, passing
NULLs at top-level APIs in order to make that patch less noisy and more
easily readable.

"git pack-refs" learns "--include" and "--exclude" to tweak the ref
hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching.
* jc/pack-ref-exclude-include:
pack-refs: teach pack-refs --include option
pack-refs: teach --exclude option to exclude refs from being packed

At GitLab, we have a system that creates ephemeral internal refs that
don't live long before getting deleted. Having an option to exclude
certain refs from a packed-refs file allows these internal references to
be deleted much more efficiently.
Add an --exclude option to the pack-refs builtin, and use the ref
exclusions API to exclude certain refs from being packed into the final
packed-refs file

We had several C files ignoring the rule to include one of the
appropriate headers first; fix that.
While at it, the rule in Documentation/CodingGuidelines about which
header to include has also fallen out of sync, so update the wording to
mention other allowed headers.
Unfortunately, C files in reftable/ don't actually follow the previous
or updated rule. If you follow the #include chain in its C files,
reftable/system.h _tends_ to be first (i.e. record.c first includes
record.h, which first includes basics.h, which first includees
system.h), but not always (e.g. publicbasics.c includes another header
first that does not include system.h). However, I'm going to punt on
making actual changes to the C files in reftable/ since I do not want to
risk bringing it out-of-sync with any version being used externally.

In cd475b3b03 (refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading
of symbolic refs, 2022-03-01) when the "read_symbolic_ref" callback
was added we'd fall back on "refs_read_raw_ref" if there wasn't any
backend implementation of "read_symbolic_ref".
As discussed in the preceding commit this would only happen if we were
running the "debug" backend, e.g. in the "setup for ref completion"
test in t9902-completion.sh with:
GIT_TRACE_REFS=1 git fetch --no-tags other
Let's improve the trace output, but and also eliminate the
now-redundant refs_read_raw_ref() fallback case. As noted in the
preceding commit the "packed" backend will never call
refs_read_symbolic_ref() (nor is it ever going to). For any future
backend such as reftable it's OK to ask that they either implement
this (or a wrapper) themselves.

Change the definition of the three refs backends we currently carry to
use designated initializers.
The "= NULL" assignments being retained here are redundant, and could
be removed, but let's keep them for clarity. All of these backends
define almost all fields, so we're not saving much in terms of line
count by omitting these, but e.g. for "refs_be_debug" it's immediately
apparent that we're omitting "init" when comparing its assignment to
the others.
This is a follow-up to similar work merged in bd4232fac3 (Merge
branch 'ab/struct-init', 2021-07-16), a4b9fb6a5c (Merge branch

Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the
same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and
then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one
downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from
normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs
backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as
a result it is pointless to even ask it for one.
There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is
symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be
a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this
case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a
loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs
backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient
and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to
not care for the result at all.
Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to
fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references
and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if
the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the
old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend
provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one
instead.
Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish
between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd
be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the
symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it
exists as a non-symbolic reference.

* ab/refs-files-cleanup:
refs/files: remove unused "errno != ENOTDIR" condition
refs/files: remove unused "errno == EISDIR" code
refs/files: remove unused "oid" in lock_ref_oid_basic()
refs API: remove OID argument to reflog_expire()
reflog expire: don't lock reflogs using previously seen OID
refs/files: add a comment about refs_reflog_exists() call
refs: make repo_dwim_log() accept a NULL oid
refs/debug: re-indent argument list for "prepare"
refs/files: remove unused "skip" in lock_raw_ref() too
refs/files: remove unused "extras/skip" in lock_ref_oid_basic()
refs: drop unused "flags" parameter to lock_ref_oid_basic()
refs/files: remove unused REF_DELETING in lock_ref_oid_basic()
refs/packet: add missing BUG() invocations to reflog callbacks
This makes it explicit how alternative ref backends should report errors in
read_raw_ref_fn.
read_raw_ref_fn needs to supply a credible errno for a number of cases. These
are primarily:
1) The files backend calls read_raw_ref from lock_raw_ref, and uses the
resulting error codes to create/remove directories as needed.
2) ENOENT should be translated in a zero OID, optionally with REF_ISBROKEN set,
returning the last successfully resolved symref. This is necessary so
read_raw_ref("HEAD") on an empty repo returns refs/heads/main (or the default branch
du-jour), and we know on which branch to create the first commit.
Make this information flow explicit by adding a failure_errno to the signature
of read_raw_ref. All errnos from the files backend are still propagated
unchanged, even though inspection suggests only ENOTDIR, EISDIR and ENOENT are
relevant.

Always use oidread to read into struct object_id
hash: add an algo member to struct object_id
Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.
