Hotfix for a topic that is already in 'master'.

3adf9fdecf configure.ac: loosen FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES test program
We added an FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES Makefile knob long ago
in cba22528f (Add compat/fopen.c which returns NULL on
attempt to open directory, 2008-02-08) to handle systems
where reading from a directory returned garbage. This works
by catching the problem at the fopen() stage and returning
NULL.

More recently, we found that there is a class of systems
(including Linux) where fopen() succeeds but fread() fails.
Since the solution is the same (having fopen return NULL),
they use the same Makefile knob as of e2d90fd1c
(config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Linux and
FreeBSD, 2017-05-03).

This works fine except for one thing: the autoconf test in
configure.ac to set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES actually checks
whether fread succeeds. Which means that on Linux systems,
the knob isn't set (and we even override the config.mak.uname
default). t1308 catches the failure.

We can fix this by tweaking the autoconf test to cover both
cases. In theory we might care about the distinction between
the traditional "fread reads directories" case and the new
"fopen opens directories". But since our solution catches
the problem at the fopen stage either way, we don't actually
need to know the difference. The "fopen" case is a superset.

This does mean the FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES name is slightly
misleading. Probably FOPEN_OPENS_DIRECTORIES would be more
accurate. But it would be disruptive to simply change the
name (people's existing build configs would fail), and it's
not worth the complexity of handling both. Let's just add a
comment in the knob description.

94da9193a6 grep: add support for PCRE v2
Add support for v2 of the PCRE API. This is a new major version of
PCRE that came out in early 2015[1].

The regular expression syntax is the same, but while the API is
similar, pretty much every function is either renamed or takes
different arguments. Thus using it via entirely new functions makes
sense, as opposed to trying to e.g. have one compile_pcre_pattern()
that would call either PCRE v1 or v2 functions.

Git can now be compiled with either USE_LIBPCRE1=YesPlease or
USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease, with USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease currently being a
synonym for the former. Providing both is a compile-time error.

With earlier patches to enable JIT for PCRE v1 the performance of the
release versions of both libraries is almost exactly the same, with
PCRE v2 being around 1% slower.

However after I reported this to the pcre-dev mailing list[2] I got a
lot of help with the API use from Zoltán Herczeg, he subsequently
optimized some of the JIT functionality in v2 of the library.

Running the p7820-grep-engines.sh performance test against the latest
Subversion trunk of both, with both them and git compiled as -O3, and
the test run against linux.git, gives the following results. Just the
/perl/ tests shown:

See commit ("perf: add a comparison test of grep regex engines",
2017-04-19) for details on the machine the above test run was executed
on.

Here HEAD~2 is git with PCRE v1 without JIT, HEAD~ is PCRE v1 with
JIT, and HEAD is PCRE v2 (also with JIT). See previous commits of mine
mentioning p7820-grep-engines.sh for more details on the test setup.

For ease of readability, a different run just of HEAD~ (PCRE v1 with
JIT v.s. PCRE v2), again with just the /perl/ tests shown:

I.e. the two are either neck-to-neck, but PCRE v2 usually pulls ahead,
when it does it's around 20% faster.

A brief note on thread safety: As noted in pcre2api(3) & pcre2jit(3)
the compiled pattern can be shared between threads, but not some of
the JIT context, however the grep threading support does all pattern &
JIT compilation in separate threads, so this code doesn't need to
concern itself with thread safety.

See commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09) for the
initial addition of PCRE v1. This change follows some of the same
patterns it did (and which were discussed on list at the time),
e.g. mocking up types with typedef instead of ifdef-ing them out when
USE_LIBPCRE2 isn't defined. This adds some trivial memory use to the
program, but makes the code look nicer.

072473e659 Makefile & configure: reword inaccurate comment about PCRE
Reword an outdated & inaccurate comment which suggests that only
git-grep can use PCRE.

This comment was added back when PCRE support was initially added in
commit 63e7e9d8b6 ("git-grep: Learn PCRE", 2011-05-09), and was true
at the time.

It hasn't been telling the full truth since git-log learned to use
PCRE with --grep in commit 727b6fc3ed ("log --grep: accept
--basic-regexp and --perl-regexp", 2012-10-03), and more importantly
is likely to get more inaccurate over time as more use is made of PCRE
in other areas.

Reword it to be more future-proof, and to more clearly explain that
this enables user-initiated runtime behavior.

Copy/pasting this so much in configure.ac is lame, these Makefile-like
flags aren't even used by autoconf, just the corresponding
--with[out]-* options. But copy/pasting the comments that make sense
for the Makefile to configure.ac where they make less sense is the
pattern everything else follows in that file. I'm not going to war
against that as part of this change, just following the existing
pattern.

924b7eb1c9 ./configure.ac: detect SSL in libcurl using curl-config
The API of libcurl does not mention Curl_ssl_init() and when curl is
built with -flto, the Curl_ssl_init symbol is not exported.

https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/using/ suggests calling

  curl-config --feature | grep SSL

to see, if the installed curl has SSL support.  Another approach
would be calling curl_version_info and checking the returned struct.

This patch removes the check for the Curl_ssl_init exported symbol
from libcurl and uses curl-config to detect SSL support in libcurl.

When libcurl has been statically compiled with openssl support they both
need to be linked in everytime libcurl is used.

During configuration this can be detected by looking for Curl_ssl_init
function symbol in libcurl, which will only be present if libcurl has been
compiled statically built with openssl.

configure.ac checks for Curl_ssl_init function in libcurl and if such function
exists; it sets NEEDS_SSL_WITH_CURL that is used by the Makefile to include
-lssl alongside with -lcurl.

d543d9c0f4 compat: convert modes to use portable file type values
This adds simple wrapper functions around calls to stat(), fstat(),
and lstat() that translate the operating system's native file type
bits to those used by most operating systems.  It also rewrites the
S_IF* macros to the common values, so all file type processing is
performed using the translated modes.  This makes projects portable
across operating systems that use different file type definitions.

Only the file type bits may be affected by these compatibility
functions; the file permission bits are assumed to be 07777 and are
passed through unchanged.

61f76a3612 Portable alloca for Git
In the next patch we'll have to use alloca() for performance reasons,
but since alloca is non-standardized and is not portable, let's have a
trick with compatibility wrappers:

1. at configure time, determine, do we have working alloca() through
   alloca.h, and define

    #define HAVE_ALLOCA_H

   if yes.

2. in code

    #ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA_H
    # include <alloca.h>
    # define xalloca(size)      (alloca(size))
    # define xalloca_free(p)    do {} while(0)
    #else
    # define xalloca(size)      (xmalloc(size))
    # define xalloca_free(p)    (free(p))
    #endif

   and use it like

   func() {
       p = xalloca(size);
       ...

       xalloca_free(p);
   }

This way, for systems, where alloca is available, we'll have optimal
on-stack allocations with fast executions. On the other hand, on
systems, where alloca is not available, this gracefully fallbacks to
xmalloc/free.

Both autoconf and config.mak.uname configurations were updated. For
autoconf, we are not bothering considering cases, when no alloca.h is
available, but alloca() works some other way - its simply alloca.h is
available and works or not, everything else is deep legacy.

For config.mak.uname, I've tried to make my almost-sure guess for where
alloca() is available, but since I only have access to Linux it is the
only change I can be sure about myself, with relevant to other changed
systems people Cc'ed.

NOTE

SunOS and Windows had explicit -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H in their configurations.
I've changed that to now-common HAVE_ALLOCA_H=YesPlease which should be
correct.

62fb6d03da configure.ac: link with -liconv for locale_charset()
On e.g. FreeBSD 10.x, the following situation is common:
- there's iconv implementation in libc, which has no locale_charset()
  function
- there's GNU libiconv installed from Ports Collection

Git build process
- detects that iconv is in libc and thus -liconv is not needed for it
- detects locale_charset in -liconv, but for some reason doesn't add it
  to CHARSET_LIB (as it would do with -lcharset if locale_charset() was
  found there instead of -liconv)
- git doesn't build due to unresolved external locale_charset()

Fix this by adding -liconv to CHARSET_LIB if locale_charset() is
detected in this library.

70a8fc999d stop using fnmatch (either native or compat)
Since v1.8.4 (about six months ago) wildmatch is used as default
replacement for fnmatch. We have seen only one fix since so wildmatch
probably has done a good job as fnmatch replacement. This concludes
the fnmatch->wildmatch transition by no longer relying on fnmatch.

b2d05e0653 git-compat-util.h: do not #include <sys/param.h> by default
Earlier we allowed platforms that lack <sys/param.h> not to include
the header file from git-compat-util.h; we have included this header
file since the early days back when we used MAXPATHLEN (which we no
longer use) and also depended on it slurping ULONG_MAX (which we get
by including stdint.h or inttypes.h these days).

It turns out that we can compile our modern codebase just file
without including it on many platforms (so far, Fedora, Debian,
Ubuntu, MinGW, Mac OS X, Cygwin, HP-Nonstop, QNX and z/OS are
reported to be OK).

Let's stop including it by default, and on platforms that need it to
be included, leave "make NEEDS_SYS_PARAM_H=YesPlease" as an escape
hatch and ask them to report to us, so that we can find out about
the real dependency and fix it in a more platform agnostic way.

e0a5227930 configure.ac: fix pthreads detection on Mac OS X
The configure script checks whether certain flags are required to use
pthreads. But it did not consider that *none* might be needed (as is the
case on Mac OS X). This lead to configure adding "-mt" to the list of
flags (which does nothing on OS X except producing a warning). This in
turn triggered a compiler warning on every single file.

To solve this, we now first check if pthreads work without extra flags.
This means the check is now order dependant, hence a comment is added
explaining this, and the reasons for it.

Note that it might be possible to write an order independent test, but
it does not seem worth the extra effort required for implementing and
testing such a solution, when this simple solution exists and works.

40bfbde9da build: don't duplicate substitution of make variables
Thanks to our 'GIT_CONF_SUBST' layer in configure.ac, a make variable 'VAR'
can be defined to a value 'VAL' at ./configure runtime in our build system
simply by using "GIT_CONF_SUBST([VAR], [VAL])" in configure.ac, rather than
having both to call "AC_SUBST([VAR], [VAL])" in configure.ac and adding the
'VAR = @VAR@' definition in config.mak.in.  Less duplication, less margin
for error, less possibility of confusion.

While at it, fix some formatting issues in configure.ac that unnecessarily
obscured the code flow.
