The code to auto-correct a misspelt subcommand unnecessarily called
into git_default_config() from the early config codepath, which was
a no-no. This has bee corrected.

help.c: fix autocorrect in work tree for bare repository
Currently, auto correction doesn't work reliably for commands which must
run in a work tree (e.g. `git status`) in Git work trees which are
created from a bare repository.
As far as I'm able to determine, this has been broken since commit
659fef199f (help: use early config when autocorrecting aliases,
2017-06-14), where the call to `git_config()` in `help_unknown_cmd()`
was replaced with a call to `read_early_config()`. From what I can tell,
the actual cause for the unexpected error is that we call
`git_default_config()` in the `git_unknown_cmd_config` callback instead
of simply returning `0` for config entries which we aren't interested
in.
Calling `git_default_config()` in this callback to `read_early_config()`
seems like a bad idea since those calls will initialize a bunch of state
in `environment.c` (among other things `is_bare_repository_cfg`) before
we've properly detected that we're running in a work tree.
All other callbacks provided to `read_early_config()` appear to only
extract their configurations while simply returning `0` for all other
config keys.
This commit changes the `git_unknown_cmd_config` callback to not call
`git_default_config()`. Instead we also simply return `0` for config
keys which we're not interested in.
Additionally the commit adds a new test case covering `help.autocorrect`
in a work tree created from a bare clone.

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.

Remove the last uses of the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT prerequisite as well as
the prerequisite itself. This is a follow-up to d162b25f95 (tests:
remove support for GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON, 2021-01-20), as well as
the preceding commit where we removed the simpler uses of
C_LOCALE_OUTPUT.
Here I'm slightly refactoring a test added in 21e5ad50fc (safecrlf:
Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions,
2008-02-06), as well as getting rid of another "test_have_prereq
C_LOCALE_OUTPUT" use.
I'm not leaving the prerequisite itself in place for in-flight changes
as there currently are none that introduce new tests that rely on it,
and because C_LOCALE_OUTPUT is currently a noop on the master branch
we likely won't have any new submissions that use it.

While help.autocorrect can be set to 0 to decline auto-execution of
possibly mistyped commands, it still spends cycles to compute the
suggestions, and it wastes screen real estate.
Update help.autocorrect to accept the string "never" to just exit
with error upon mistyped commands to help users who prefer to never
see suggested corrections at all.
While at it, introduce "immediate" as a more readable way to
immediately execute the auto-corrected command, which can be done
with negative value.

The test t9003-help-autocorrect.sh fails when run under GETTEXT_POISON,
because it's expecting to filter out the original output. Accommodate
gettext poison case by also filtering out the default simulated output.

When help.autocorrect is in effect, an attempt to auto-execute an
uniquely corrected result of a misspelt alias will result in an
irrelevant error message. The codepath that causes this calls
save_env_before_alias() and restore_env() in handle_alias(), and
that happens twice. A global variable orig_cwd is allocated to hold
the return value of getcwd() in save_env_before_alias(), which is
then used in restore_env() to go back to that directory and finally
free(3)'d there.
However, save_env_before_alias() is not prepared to be called twice.
It returns early when it knows it has already been called, leaving
orig_cwd undefined, which is then checked in the second call to
restore_env(), and by that time, the memory that used to hold the
contents of orig_cwd is either freed or reused to hold something
else, and this is fed to chdir(2), causing it to fail. Even if it
did not fail (i.e. reading of the already free'd piece of memory
yielded a directory path that we can chdir(2) to), it then gets
free(3)'d.
Fix this by making sure save_env() does do the saving when called.
While at it, add a minimal test for help.autocorrect facility.
