Traditionally, unpack_trees_options->reset was used to signal that it
was okay to delete any untracked files in the way. This was used by
`git read-tree --reset`, but then started appearing in other places as
well. However, many of the other uses should not be deleting untracked
files in the way. Change this value to an enum so that a value of 1
(i.e. "true") can be split into two:
UNPACK_RESET_PROTECT_UNTRACKED,
UNPACK_RESET_OVERWRITE_UNTRACKED
In order to catch accidental misuses (i.e. where folks call it the way
they traditionally used to), define the special enum value of
UNPACK_RESET_INVALID = 1
which will trigger a BUG().
Modify existing callers so that
read-tree --reset
reset --hard
checkout --force
continue using the UNPACK_RESET_OVERWRITE_UNTRACKED logic, while other
callers, including
am
checkout without --force
stash (though currently dead code; reset always had a value of 0)
numerous callers from rebase/sequencer to reset_head()
will use the new UNPACK_RESET_PROTECT_UNTRACKED value.
Also, note that it has been reported that 'git checkout <treeish>
<pathspec>' currently also allows overwriting untracked files[1]. That
case should also be fixed, but it does not use unpack_trees() and thus
is outside the scope of the current changes.

Change several commands to remove ignored files by default when they are
in the way. Since some commands (checkout, merge) take a
--no-overwrite-ignore option to allow the user to configure this, and it
may make sense to add that option to more commands (and in the case of
merge, actually plumb that configuration option through to more of the
backends than just the fast-forwarding special case), add little
comments about where such flags would be used.
Incidentally, this fixes a test failure in t7112.

Avoid accidental misuse or confusion over ownership by clearly making
unpack_trees_options.dir an internal-only variable.

Currently, every caller of unpack_trees() that wants to ensure ignored
files are overwritten by default needs to:
* allocate unpack_trees_options.dir
* flip the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag in unpack_trees_options.dir->flags
* call setup_standard_excludes
AND then after the call to unpack_trees() needs to
* call dir_clear()
* deallocate unpack_trees_options.dir
That's a fair amount of boilerplate, and every caller uses identical
code. Make this easier by instead introducing a new boolean value where
the default value (0) does what we want so that new callers of
unpack_trees() automatically get the appropriate behavior. And move all
the handling of unpack_trees_options.dir into unpack_trees() itself.
While preserve_ignored = 0 is the behavior we feel is the appropriate
default, we defer fixing commands to use the appropriate default until a
later commit. So, this commit introduces several locations where we
manually set preserve_ignored=1. This makes it clear where code paths
were previously preserving ignored files when they should not have been;
a future commit will flip these to instead use a value of 0 to get the
behavior we want.

This fixes a long-standing patchwork of ignored files handling in
read-tree and merge-recursive, called out and suggested by Junio long
ago. Quoting from commit dcf0c16ef1 ("core.excludesfile clean-up"
2007-11-16):
git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
...
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().
History shows each of these were partially or fully fixed:
* clean was taught the new trick in 1617adc7a0 ("Teach git clean to
use setup_standard_excludes()", 2007-11-14).
* read-tree was primarily used by checkout & merge scripts. checkout
and merge later became builtins and were both fixed to use the new
setup_standard_excludes() handling in fc001b526c ("checkout,merge:
loosen overwriting untracked file check based on info/exclude",
2011-11-27). So the primary users were fixed, though read-tree
itself was not.
* merge-recursive has now been replaced as the default merge backend
by merge-ort. merge-ort fixed this by using
setup_standard_excludes() starting early in its implementation; see
commit 6681ce5cf6 ("merge-ort: add implementation of checkout()",
2020-12-13), largely due to its design depending on checkout() and
thus being influenced by the checkout code. However,
merge-recursive itself was not fixed here, in part because its
design meant it had difficulty differentiating between untracked
files, ignored files, leftover tracked files that haven't been
removed yet due to order of processing files, and files written by
itself due to collisions).
Make the conversion more complete by now handling read-tree and
handling at least the unpack_trees() portion of merge-recursive. While
merge-recursive is on its way out, fixing the unpack_trees() portion is
easy and facilitates some of the later changes in this series. Note
that fixing read-tree makes the --exclude-per-directory option to
read-tree useless, so we remove it from the documentation (though we
continue to accept it if passed).
The read-tree changes happen to fix a bug in t1013.

Noting that unpack_trees treats reset=1 & update=1 as license to nuke
untracked files, I looked for code paths that use this combination and
tried to generate testcases which demonstrated unintentional loss of
untracked files and directories. I found several.
I also include testcases for `git reset --{hard,merge,keep}`. A hard
reset is perhaps the most direct test of unpack_tree's reset=1 behavior,
but we cannot make `git reset --hard` preserve untracked files without
some migration work.
Also, the two commands `checkout --force` (because of the --force) and
`read-tree --reset` (because it's plumbing and we need to keep it
backward compatible) were left out as we expect those to continue
removing untracked files and directories.
