Assorted config API updates.
* ab/config-multi-and-nonbool:
for-each-repo: with bad config, don't conflate <path> and <cmd>
config API: add "string" version of *_value_multi(), fix segfaults
config API users: test for *_get_value_multi() segfaults
for-each-repo: error on bad --config
config API: have *_multi() return an "int" and take a "dest"
versioncmp.c: refactor config reading next commit
config API: add and use a "git_config_get()" family of functions
config tests: add "NULL" tests for *_get_value_multi()
config tests: cover blind spots in git_die_config() tests
Fix a logic error in 4950b2a2b5 (for-each-repo: run subcommands on
configured repos, 2020-09-11). Due to assuming that elements returned
from the repo_config_get_value_multi() call wouldn't be "NULL" we'd
conflate the <path> and <command> part of the argument list when
running commands.
As noted in the preceding commit the fix is to move to a safer
"*_string_multi()" version of the *_multi() API. This change is
separated from the rest because those all segfaulted. In this change
we ended up with different behavior.
When using the "--config=<config>" form we take each element of the
list as a path to a repository. E.g. with a configuration like:
[repo] list = /some/repo
We would, with this command:
git for-each-repo --config=repo.list status builtin
Run a "git status" in /some/repo, as:
git -C /some/repo status builtin
I.e. ask "status" to report on the "builtin" directory. But since a
configuration such as this would result in a "struct string_list *"
with one element, whose "string" member is "NULL":
[repo] list
We would, when constructing our command-line in
"builtin/for-each-repo.c"...
strvec_pushl(&child.args, "-C", path, NULL);
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
strvec_push(&child.args, argv[i]);
...have that "path" be "NULL", and as strvec_pushl() stops when it
sees NULL we'd end with the first "argv" element as the argument to
the "-C" option, e.g.:
git -C status builtin
I.e. we'd run the command "builtin" in the "status" directory.
In another context this might be an interesting security
vulnerability, but I think that this amounts to a nothingburger on
that front.
A hypothetical attacker would need to be able to write config for the
victim to run, if they're able to do that there's more interesting
attack vectors. See the "safe.directory" facility added in
8d1a744820 (setup.c: create `safe.bareRepository`, 2022-07-14).
An even more unlikely possibility would be an attacker able to
generate the config used for "for-each-repo --config=<key>", but
nothing else (e.g. an automated system producing that list).
Even in that case the attack vector is limited to the user running
commands whose name matches a directory that's interesting to the
attacker (e.g. a "log" directory in a repository). The second
argument (if any) of the command is likely to make git die without
doing anything interesting (e.g. "-p" to "log", there being no "-p"
built-in command to run).

As noted in 6c62f01552 (for-each-repo: do nothing on empty config,
2021-01-08) this command wants to ignore a non-existing config key,
but let's not conflate that with bad config.
Before this, all these added tests would pass with an exit code of 0.
We could preserve the comment added in 6c62f01552, but now that we're
directly using the documented repo_config_get_value_multi() value it's
just narrating something that should be obvious from the API use, so
let's drop it.

Various leak fixes.
* ab/various-leak-fixes:
built-ins: use free() not UNLEAK() if trivial, rm dead code
revert: fix parse_options_concat() leak
cherry-pick: free "struct replay_opts" members
rebase: don't leak on "--abort"
connected.c: free the "struct packed_git"
sequencer.c: fix "opts->strategy" leak in read_strategy_opts()
ls-files: fix a --with-tree memory leak
revision API: call graph_clear() in release_revisions()
unpack-file: fix ancient leak in create_temp_file()
built-ins & libs & helpers: add/move destructors, fix leaks
dir.c: free "ident" and "exclude_per_dir" in "struct untracked_cache"
read-cache.c: clear and free "sparse_checkout_patterns"
commit: discard partial cache before (re-)reading it
{reset,merge}: call discard_index() before returning
tests: mark tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
The read_cache() in prepare_to_commit() would end up clobbering the
pointer we had for a previously populated "the_index.cache_tree" in
the very common case of "git commit" stressed by e.g. the tests being
changed here.
We'd populate "the_index.cache_tree" by calling
"update_main_cache_tree" in prepare_index(), but would not end up with
a "fully prepared" index. What constitutes an existing index is
clearly overly fuzzy, here we'll check "active_nr" (aka
"the_index.cache_nr"), but our "the_index.cache_tree" might have been
malloc()'d already.
Thus the code added in 11c8a74a64 (commit: write cache-tree data when
writing index anyway, 2011-12-06) would end up allocating the
"cache_tree", and would interact here with code added in
7168624c35 (Do not generate full commit log message if it is not
going to be used, 2007-11-28). The result was a very common memory
leak.

This is a quality of life change for git-maintenance, so repos can be
recorded with the tilde syntax. The register subcommand will not record
repos in this format by default.

'git for-each-repo --config=X' should return success without calling any
subcommands when the config key 'X' has no value. The current
implementation instead segfaults.
A user could run into this issue if they used 'git maintenance start' to
initialize their cron schedule using 'git for-each-repo
--config=maintenance.repo ...' but then using 'git maintenance
unregister' to remove the config option. (Note: 'git maintenance stop'
would remove the config _and_ remove the cron schedule.)
Add a simple test to ensure this works. Use 'git help --no-such-option'
as the potential subcommand to ensure that we will hit a failure if the
subcommand is ever run.

It can be helpful to store a list of repositories in global or system
config and then iterate Git commands on that list. Create a new builtin
that makes this process simple for experts. We will use this builtin to
run scheduled maintenance on all configured repositories in a future
change.
The test is very simple, but does highlight that the "--" argument is
optional.
