Extend the the release_revisions() function so that it frees the
"mailmap" in the "struct rev_info".
The log family of functions now calls the clear_mailmap() function
added in fa8afd18e5a (revisions API: provide and use a
release_revisions(), 2021-09-19), allowing us to whitelist some tests
with "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
Unfortunately having a pointer to a mailmap in "struct rev_info"
instead of an embedded member that we "own" get a bit messy, as can be
seen in the change to builtin/commit.c.
When we free() this data we won't be able to tell apart a pointer to a
"mailmap" on the heap from one on the stack. As seen in
ea57bc0d41 (log: add --use-mailmap option, 2013-01-05) the "log"
family allocates it on the heap, but in the find_author_by_nickname()
code added in ea16794e43 (commit: search author pattern against
mailmap, 2013-08-23) we allocated it on the stack instead.
Ideally we'd simply change that member to a "struct string_list
mailmap" and never free() the "mailmap" itself, but that would be a
much larger change to the revisions API.
We have code that needs to hand an existing "mailmap" to a "struct
rev_info", while we could change all of that, let's not go there
now.
The complexity isn't in the ownership of the "mailmap" per-se, but
that various things assume a "rev_info.mailmap == NULL" means "doesn't
want mailmap", if we changed that to an init'd "struct string_list
we'd need to carefully refactor things to change those assumptions.
Let's instead always free() it, and simply declare that if you add
such a "mailmap" it must be allocated on the heap. Any modern libc
will correctly panic if we free() a stack variable, so this should be
safe going forward.

Of all the functions in `git_config*()` family, `git_config()` has the
most invocations in the whole code base. Each `git_config()` invocation
causes config file rereads which can be avoided using the config-set API.
Use the config-set API to rewrite `git_config()` to use the config caching
layer to avoid config file rereads on each invocation during a git process
lifetime. First invocation constructs the cache, and after that for each
successive invocation, `git_config()` feeds values from the config cache
instead of rereading the configuration files.

If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".
We can improve two things:
1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').
2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
"invalid unit" versus "out of range").
A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

The 'a', 'i' and 'c' commands take a literal text to be added
followed by backslash, but then in the source we cannot indent
the literal text which makes it ugly.
We need to also remember to double the backslash inside double
quotes.
Avoid these issues altogether by having an extra line in a template
file and generate test vectors by deleting the line or replacing the
line and not using the 'a' command.

Introduce a configuration variable diff.context that tells
Porcelain commands to use a non-default number of context
lines instead of 3 (the default). With this variable, users
do not have to keep repeating "git log -U8" from the command
line; instead, it becomes sufficient to say "git config
diff.context 8" just once.
