The code added 0cc05b044f (usage.c: add a non-fatal bug() function to go
with BUG(), 2022-06-02) sets up two va_list variables: one to output to
stderr, and one to trace2. But the order of initialization is wrong:
va_list ap, cp;
va_copy(cp, ap);
va_start(ap, fmt);
We copy the contents of "ap" into "cp" before it is initialized, meaning
it is full of garbage. The two should be swapped.
However, there's another bug, noticed by Johannes Schindelin: we forget
to call va_end() for the copy. So instead of just fixing the copy's
initialization, let's do two separate start/end pairs. This is allowed
by the standard, and we don't need to use copy here since we have access
to the original varargs. Matching the pairs with the calls makes it more
obvious that everything is being done correctly.
Note that we do call bug_fl() in the tests, but it didn't trigger this
problem because our format string doesn't have any placeholders. So even
though we were passing a garbage va_list through the stack, nobody ever
needed to look at it. We can easily adjust one of the trace2 tests to
trigger this, both for bug() and for BUG(). The latter isn't broken, but
it's nice to exercise both a bit more. Without the fix in this patch
(but with the test change), the bug() case causes a segfault.

Add a bug() function to use in cases where we'd like to indicate a
runtime BUG(), but would like to defer the BUG() call because we're
possibly accumulating more bug() callers to exhaustively indicate what
went wrong.
We already have this sort of facility in various parts of the
codebase, just in the form of ad-hoc re-inventions of the
functionality that this new API provides. E.g. this will be used to
replace optbug() in parse-options.c, and the 'error("BUG:[...]' we do
in a loop in builtin/receive-pack.c.
Unlike the code this replaces we'll log to trace2 with this new bug()
function (as with other usage.c functions, including BUG()), we'll
also be able to avoid calls to xstrfmt() in some cases, as the bug()
function itself accepts variadic sprintf()-like arguments.
Any caller to bug() can follow up such calls with BUG_if_bug(),
which will BUG() out (i.e. abort()) if there were any preceding calls
to bug(), callers can also decide not to call BUG_if_bug() and leave
the resulting BUG() invocation until exit() time. There are currently
no bug() API users that don't call BUG_if_bug() themselves after a
for-loop, but allowing for not calling BUG_if_bug() keeps the API
flexible. As the tests and documentation here show we'll catch missing
BUG_if_bug() invocations in our exit() wrapper.

Change the main() function to call "exit()" instead of ending with a
"return" statement. The "exit()" function is our own wrapper that
calls trace2_cmd_exit_fl() for us, from git-compat-util.h:
#define exit(code) exit(trace2_cmd_exit_fl(__FILE__, __LINE__, (code)))
That "exit()" wrapper has been in use ever since ee4512ed48 (trace2:
create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22).
This changes nothing about how we "exit()", as we'd invoke
"trace2_cmd_exit_fl()" in both cases due to the wrapper, this change
makes it easier to reason about this code, as we're now always
obviously relying on our "exit()" wrapper.
There is already code immediately downstream of our "main()" which has
a hard reliance on that, e.g. the various "exit()" calls downstream of
"cmd_main()" in "git.c".
We even had a comment in "t/helper/test-trace2.c" that seemed to be
confused about how the "exit()" wrapper interacted with uses of
"return", even though it was introduced in the same trace2 series in
a15860dca3 (trace2: t/helper/test-trace2, t0210.sh, t0211.sh,
t0212.sh, 2019-02-22), after the aforementioned ee4512ed48. Perhaps
it pre-dated the "exit()" wrapper?
This change makes the "trace2_cmd_exit()" macro orphaned, we now
always use "trace2_cmd_exit_fl()" directly, but let's keep that
simpler example in place. Even if we're unlikely to get another
"main()" other than the one in our "common-main.c", there's some value
in having the API documentation and example discuss a simpler version
that doesn't require an "exit()" wrapper macro.

die() messages are traced in trace2, but BUG() messages are not. Anyone
tracking die() messages would have even more reason to track BUG().
Therefore, write to trace2 when BUG() is invoked.

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's
all fairly mechanical, and was done with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/'
