As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, let's take a
NUL-terminated string pointer for strbuf_add_commented_lines() rather
than a single character.
All of the callers have to be adjusted; most can just pass
comment_line_str rather than comment_line_char.
And now our "cheat" in strbuf_commented_addf() can go away, as we can
take the full string from it.

All of the callers have to be adjusted, but they can just pass

Note that we rely on strbuf_add_commented_lines() under the hood, so
we'll cheat a bit to squeeze our string into a single character (for now
the two are equivalent, and we'll address this TODO in the next patch).

As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, let's take a
NUL-terminated string pointer for strbuf_stripspace(), rather than a
single character. We can continue to support its feature of ignoring
comments by accepting a NULL pointer (as opposed to the current behavior
of a NUL byte).
All of the callers have to be adjusted, but they can all just pass
comment_line_str (or NULL).
Inside the function we detect comments by comparing the first byte of a
line to the comment character. We'll adjust that to use starts_with(),
which will match multiple bytes (though for now, of course, we still
only allow a single byte, so it's academic).

We'd like to eventually support multi-byte comment prefixes, but the
comment_line_char variable is referenced in many spots, making the
transition difficult.
Let's start by storing the character in a NUL-terminated string. That
will let us switch code over incrementally to the string format, and we
can easily support the existing code with a macro wrapper (since we'll
continue to allow only a single-byte prefix, this will behave
identically).
Once all references to the "char" variable have been converted, we can
drop it and enable longer strings.
We'll still have to touch all of the spots that create or set the
variable in this patch, but there are only a few (reading the config,
and the "auto" character selector).

Several comment-related strbuf functions take a comment_line_char
parameter. There's also a global comment_line_char variable, which is
closely related (most callers pass it in as this parameter). Let's avoid
shadowing the global name. This makes it more obvious that we're not
using the global value, and it will be especially helpful as we refactor
the global in future patches (in particular, any macro trickery wouldn't
work because the preprocessor doesn't respect scope).
We'll use "comment_prefix". That should be descriptive enough, and as a
bonus is more neutral with respect to the "char" type (since we'll
eventually swap it out for a string).

When core.commentChar is set to "auto", we check a set of candidate
characters against the proposed buffer to see which if any can be used
without ambiguity. But before we do that, we optimize for the common
case that the default "#" is fine by just seeing if it is present in the
buffer at all.
The way we do this is a bit subtle, though: we assign the candidate
character to comment_line_char preemptively, then check if it works, and
return if it does. The subtle part is that sometimes setting
comment_line_char is important (after we return, the important outcome
is the fact that we have set the variable) and sometimes it is useless
(if our optimization fails, we go on to do the more careful checks and
eventually assign something else instead).
To make it more clear what is happening (and to make further refactoring
of comment_line_char easier), let's check our candidate character
directly, and then assign as part of returning if it worked out.

In strbuf_add_commented_lines(), we have to convert the single-byte
comment_line_char into a string to pass to add_lines(). We cache the
created string using a static-local variable. But this makes the
function non-reentrant, and it's doubtful that this provides any real
performance benefit given that we know the string always contains a
single character.
So let's just create it from scratch each time, and to give the compiler
the maximal opportunity to make it fast we'll ditch the over-complicated
xsnprintf() and just assign directly into the array.

In strbuf_add_commented_lines(), we prepare two strings with potential
prefixes: one with just the comment char, and one with an additional
space. In the add_lines() helper, we use the one without the extra space
for blank lines or lines starting with a tab.
While passing in two separate prefixes to the helper is very flexible,
it's more flexibility than we actually use (or are likely to use, since
the rules inside add_lines() only make sense if "prefix2" is a variant
of "prefix1" without the extra space). And setting up the two strings
makes refactoring in strbuf_add_commented_lines() awkward.
Instead, let's pass in a single string, and just let add_lines() add the
extra space to the result as appropriate.
We do still need to pass in a flag to trigger this behavior. The helper
is shared by strbuf_add_lines(), which passes in a NULL "prefix2" to
inhibit this extra handling.

Since we usually look for a comment char while parsing line-oriented
files, setting core.commentChar to a single newline can confuse our code
quite a bit. For example, using it with "git commit" causes us to fail
to recognize any of the template as comments, including it in the config
message. Which kind of makes sense, since the template content is on its
own line (so no line can "start" with a newline). In other spots I would
not be surprised if you can create more mischief (e.g., violating loop
assumptions) but I didn't dig into it.
Since comment characters are a local preference, to some degree this is
a case of "if it hurts, don't do it". But given that this would be a
silly and pointless thing to do, and that it makes it harder to reason
about code parsing comment lines, let's just forbid it.
There are other cases that are perhaps questionable (e.g., setting the
comment char to a single space), but they seem to behave reasonably (at
least a simple "git commit" will correctly identify and strip the
template lines). So I haven't worried about going on a hunt for every
stupid thing a user might do to themselves, and just focused on the most
confusing case.

The reason why we require the <git-compat-util.h> file to be the
first header file to be included is because it insulates other
header files and source files from platform differences, like which
system header files must be included in what order, and what C
preprocessor feature macros must be defined to trigger certain
features we want out of the system.
We tried to clarify the rule in the coding guidelines document, but
the wording was a bit fuzzy that can lead to misinterpretations like
you can include <xdiff/xinclude.h> only to avoid having to include
<git-compat-util.h> even if you have nothing to do with the xdiff
implementation, for example. "You do not have to include more than
one of these" was also misleading and would have been puzzling if
you _needed_ to depend on more than one of these approved headers
(answer: you are allowed to include them all if you need the
declarations in them for reasons other than that you want to avoid
including compat-util yourself).
Instead of using the phrase "approved headers", enumerate them as
exceptions, each labeled with its intended audiences, to avoid such
misinterpretations. The structure also makes it easier to add new
exceptions, so add the description of "t/unit-tests/test-lib.h"
being an exception only for the unit tests implementation as an
example.
