The symlink setup in t0066 makes several directories with links, dir4
through dir6. But ever since dir5 was introduced in fa1da7d2ee
(dir-iterator: add flags parameter to dir_iterator_begin, 2019-07-10),
it has never actually been used. It was left over from an earlier
iteration of the patch which tried to handle recursive symlinks
specially, as seen in:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190502144829.4394-7-matheus.bernardino@usp.br/
It's not hurting any of the existing tests to be there, but the extra
setup is confusing to anybody trying to read and understand the tests.
Let's drop the extra directory, and we'll rename "dir6" to "dir5" so
nobody wonders whether the gap in naming is important.

The `FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` flag was added to the dir-iterator API in
fa1da7d2ee (dir-iterator: add flags parameter to dir_iterator_begin,
2019-07-10) in order to follow symbolic links while traversing through a
directory.
`FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` gained its first caller in ff7ccc8c9a (clone: use
dir-iterator to avoid explicit dir traversal, 2019-07-10), but it was
subsequently removed in 6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c: disallow `--local`
clones with symlinks, 2022-07-28).
Since then, we've held on to the code for `DIR_ITERATOR_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS`
in the name of making minimally invasive changes during a security
embargo.
In fact, we even changed the dir-iterator API in bffc762f87
(dir-iterator: prevent top-level symlinks without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS,
2023-01-24) without having any non-test callers of that flag.
Now that we're past those security embargo(s), let's finalize our
cleanup of the `DIR_ITERATOR_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` code and remove its
implementation since there are no remaining callers.

apply: fix writing behind newly created symbolic links
dir-iterator: prevent top-level symlinks without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS
clone: delay picking a transport until after get_repo_path()
t5619: demonstrate clone_local() with ambiguous transport
When using the dir_iterator API, we first stat(2) the base path, and
then use that as a starting point to enumerate the directory's contents.
If the directory contains symbolic links, we will immediately die() upon
encountering them without the `FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` flag. The same is not
true when resolving the top-level directory, though.
As explained in a previous commit, this oversight in 6f054f9fb3
(builtin/clone.c: disallow `--local` clones with symlinks, 2022-07-28)
can be used as an attack vector to include arbitrary files on a victim's
filesystem from outside of the repository.
Prevent resolving top-level symlinks unless the FOLLOW_SYMLINKS flag is
given, which will cause clones of a repository with a symlink'd
"$GIT_DIR/objects" directory to fail.

Mark various existing tests in t00*.sh that invoke a "test-tool" with
as passing when git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak.
They'll now be listed as running under the
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI
target).

A few tests printed 'errno' as an integer and compared with
hardcoded integers; this is obviously not portable.
A two things to note are:
- the string obtained by strerror() is not portable, and cannot be
used for the purpose of these tests.
- there unfortunately isn't a portable way to map error numbers to
error names.
As we only care about a few selected errors, just map the error
number to the name before emitting for comparison.

Add the possibility of giving flags to dir_iterator_begin to initialize
a dir-iterator with special options.
Currently possible flags are:
- DIR_ITERATOR_PEDANTIC, which makes dir_iterator_advance abort
immediately in the case of an error, instead of keep looking for the
next valid entry;
- DIR_ITERATOR_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, which makes the iterator follow
symlinks and include linked directories' contents in the iteration.
These new flags will be used in a subsequent patch.
Also add tests for the flags' usage and adjust refs/files-backend.c to
the new dir_iterator_begin signature.

dir_iterator_advance() is a large function with two nested loops. Let's
improve its readability factoring out three functions and simplifying
its mechanics. The refactored model will no longer depend on
level.initialized and level.dir_state to keep track of the iteration
state and will perform on a single loop.
Also, dir_iterator_begin() currently does not check if the given string
represents a valid directory path. Since the refactored model will have
to stat() the given path at initialization, let's also check for this
kind of error and make dir_iterator_begin() return NULL, on failures,
with errno appropriately set. And add tests for this new behavior.
Improve documentation at dir-iteration.h and code comments at
dir-iterator.c to reflect the changes and eliminate possible
ambiguities.
Finally, adjust refs/files-backend.c to check for now possible
dir_iterator_begin() failures.

Create t/helper/test-dir-iterator.c, which prints relevant information
about a directory tree iterated over with dir-iterator.
Create t/t0066-dir-iterator.sh, which tests that dir-iterator does
iterate through a whole directory tree as expected.
