Teach Git to lazy-fetch missing objects in a subprocess instead of doing
it in-process. This allows any fatal errors that occur during the fetch
to be isolated and converted into an error return value, instead of
causing the current command being run to terminate.

In order to determine negotiation tips, "fetch-pack" iterates over all
refs and dereferences all annotated tags found. This causes the
existence of targets of refs and annotated tags to be checked. Avoiding
this is especially important when we use "git fetch" (which invokes
"fetch-pack") to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because a
target of such a ref or annotated tag may need to be itself lazy-fetched
(and otherwise causing an infinite loop).
Therefore, teach "fetch-pack" not to lazy fetch whenever iterating over
refs. This is done by using the raw form of ref iteration and by
dereferencing tags ourselves.

In "fetch", get_ref_map() iterates over all refs to populate
"existing_refs" in order to populate peer_ref->old_oid in the returned
refmap, even if the refmap has no peer_ref set - which is the case when
only literal hashes (i.e. no refs by name) are fetched.
Iterating over refs causes the targets of those refs to be checked for
existence. Avoiding this is especially important when we use "git fetch"
to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because a target of such a
ref may need to be itself lazy-fetched (and otherwise causing an
infinite loop).
Therefore, avoid populating "existing_refs" until necessary. With this
patch, because Git lazy-fetches objects by literal hashes (to be done in
a subsequent commit), it will then be able to guarantee avoiding reading
targets of refs.

In "fetch", there are two parameters submodule_fetch_jobs_config and
recurse_submodules that can be set in a variety of ways: through
.gitmodules, through .git/config, and through the command line.
Currently "fetch" handles this by first reading .gitmodules, then
reading .git/config (allowing it to overwrite existing values), then
reading the command line (allowing it to overwrite existing values).
Notice that we can avoid reading .gitmodules if .git/config and/or the
command line already provides us with what we need. In addition, if
recurse_submodules is found to be "no", we do not need the value of
submodule_fetch_jobs_config.
Avoiding reading .gitmodules is especially important when we use "git
fetch" to perform lazy fetches in a partial clone because the
.gitmodules file itself might need to be lazy fetched (and otherwise
causing an infinite loop).
In light of all this, avoid reading .gitmodules until necessary. When
reading it, we may only need one of the two parameters it provides, so
teach fetch_config_from_gitmodules() to support NULL arguments. With
this patch, users (including Git itself when invoking "git fetch" to
lazy-fetch) will be able to guarantee avoiding reading .gitmodules by
passing --recurse-submodules=no.

In a subsequent patch, partial clones will be taught to fetch missing
objects using a "git fetch" subprocess. Because the number of objects
fetched may be too numerous to fit on the command line, teach "fetch" to

Add a noop fetch negotiator. This is introduced to allow partial clones
to skip the unneeded negotiation step when fetching missing objects
using a "git fetch" subprocess. (The implementation of spawning a "git
fetch" subprocess will be done in a subsequent patch.) But this can also
be useful for end users, e.g. as a blunt fix for object corruption.

If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches,
and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are
merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking
refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately),
you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.
Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".
The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily
meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default,
because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration
variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive
form may become necessary to defeat it).
Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written;
otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not
actually have. Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git
fetch` to write the file.

Earlier, to countermand the implicit "-m" option when the
"--first-parent" option is used with "git log", we added the
"--[no-]diff-merges" option in the jk/log-fp-implies-m topic. To
leave the door open to allow the "--diff-merges" option to take
values that instructs how patches for merge commits should be
computed (e.g. "cc"? "-p against first parent?"), redefine
"--diff-merges" to take non-optional value, and implement "off"
that means the same thing as "--no-diff-merges".

In `stop_progress()`, we're careful to check that `p_progress` is
non-NULL before we dereference it, but by then we have already
dereferenced it when calling `finish_if_sparse(*p_progress)`. And, for
what it's worth, we'll go on to blindly dereference it again inside
`stop_progress_msg()`.
We could return early if we get a NULL-pointer, but let's go one step
further and BUG instead. The progress API handles NULL just fine, but
that's the NULL-ness of `*p_progress`, e.g., when running with
`--no-progress`. If `p_progress` is NULL, chances are that's a mistake.
For symmetry, let's do the same check in `stop_progress_msg()`, too.

Under normal circumstances, if a test author misspells a filename passed
to test_cmp(), the error is quickly discovered when the test fails
unexpectedly due to test_cmp() being unable to find the file. However,
if the test is expected to fail, as with test_expect_failure(), a
misspelled filename as argument to test_cmp() will go unnoticed since
the test will indeed fail, but for the wrong reason. Make it easier for
test authors to discover such problems early by sanity-checking the
arguments to test_cmp(). To avoid penalizing all clients of test_cmp()
in the general case, only check for missing files if the comparison
fails.
While at it, make test_cmp_bin() sanity-check its arguments, as well.

By definition, an intent-to-add index entry can never match the
worktree, because worktrees have no concept of intent-to-add entries.
Therefore, "apply --index" should always fail on intent-to-add paths.
Because check_preimage() calls verify_index_match(), it already fails
for patches other than creation patches, which check_preimage() ignores.
This patch adds a check to check_preimage()'s rough equivalent for
creation patches, check_to_create().
