Use reference iteration rather than `do_for_each_entry_in_dir()` in
the definition of `files_pack_refs()`. This makes the code shorter and
easier to follow, because the logic can be inline rather than spread
between the main function and a callback function, and it removes the
need to use `pack_refs_cb_data` to preserve intermediate state.
This removes the last callers of `entry_resolves_to_object()` and
`get_loose_ref_dir()`, so delete those functions.

Use reference iteration rather than do_for_each_entry_in_dir() in the
definition of commit_packed_refs().
Note that an internal consistency check that was previously done in
`write_packed_entry_fn()` is not there anymore. This is actually an
improvement:
The old error message was emitted when there is an entry in the
packed-ref cache that is not `REF_KNOWS_PEELED`, and when we attempted
to peel the reference, the result was `PEEL_INVALID`,
`PEEL_IS_SYMREF`, or `PEEL_BROKEN`. Since a packed ref cannot be a
symref, `PEEL_IS_SYMREF` and `PEEL_BROKEN` can be ruled out. So we're
left with `PEEL_INVALID`.
An entry without `REF_KNOWS_PEELED` can get into the packed-refs cache
in the following two ways:
* The reference was read from a `packed-refs` file that didn't have
the `fully-peeled` attribute. In that case, we *don't want* to emit
an error, because the broken value is presumably a stale value of
the reference that is now masked by a loose version of the same
reference (which we just don't happen to be packing this time). This
is a perfectly legitimate situation and doesn't indicate that the
repository is corrupt. The old code incorrectly emits an error
message in this case. (It was probably never reported as a bug
because this scenario is rare.)
* The reference was a loose reference that was just added to the
packed ref cache by `files_packed_refs()` via
`pack_if_possible_fn()` in preparation for being packed. The latter
function refuses to pack a reference for which
`entry_resolves_to_object()` returns false, and otherwise calls
`peel_entry()` itself and checks the return value. So an entry added
this way should always have `REF_KNOWS_PEELED` and shouldn't trigger
the error message in either the old code or the new.

It is a leveling violation for `ref_cache` to know about
`files_ref_store` or that it should call `read_loose_refs()` to lazily
fill cache directories. So instead, have its constructor take as an
argument a callback function that it should use for lazy-filling, and
change `files_ref_store` to supply a pointer to function
`read_loose_refs` (renamed to `loose_fill_ref_dir`) when creating the
ref cache for its loose refs.
This means that we can generify the type of the back-pointer in
`struct ref_cache` from `files_ref_store` to `ref_store`.

Instead of keeping a pointer to the `ref_store` in every `ref_dir`
entry, store it once in `struct ref_cache`, and change `struct
ref_dir` to include a pointer to its containing `ref_cache` instead.
This makes it easier to add to the information that is accessible from
a `ref_dir` without increasing the size of every `ref_dir` instance.
Note that previously, every `ref_dir` pointed at the containing
`files_ref_store` regardless of whether it was a part of the loose or
packed reference cache. Now we have to be sure to initialize the
instances to point at the correct containing `ref_cache`. So change
`create_dir_entry()` to take a `ref_cache` parameter, and change its
callers to pass the correct `ref_cache` depending on the purpose of
the new `dir_entry`.

Since 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), we have to feed the
pre-receive hook the tmp_objdir environment, so that git
programs run from the hook know where to find the objects.
That commit modified run_update_hook() to do the same, but
there it is a noop. By the time we get to the update hooks,
we have already migrated the objects from quarantine, and so
tmp_objdir_env() will always return NULL. We can drop this
useless call.
Note that the ordering here and the lack of support for the
update hook is intentional. The update hook calls are
interspersed with actual ref updates, and we must migrate
the objects before any refs are updated (since otherwise
those refs would appear broken to outside processes). So the
only other options are:
- remain in quarantine for the _first_ ref, but not the
others. This is sufficiently confusing that it can be
rejected outright.
- run all the individual update hooks first, then migrate,
then update all the refs. But this changes the repository
state that the update hooks see (i.e., whether or not
refs from the same push are updated yet or not).
So the functionality is fine and remains unchanged with this
patch; we're just cleaning up a useless and confusing line
of code.

The last test in 't6500-gc', 'background auto gc does not run if
gc.log is present and recent but does if it is old', added in
a831c06a2 (gc: ignore old gc.log files, 2017-02-10), may sporadically
trigger an error message from the test harness:
rm: cannot remove 'trash directory.t6500-gc/.git/objects': Directory not empty
The test in question ends with executing an auto gc in the backround,
which occasionally takes so long that it's still running when
'test_done' is about to remove the trash directory. This 'rm -rf
$trash' in the foreground might race with the detached auto gc to
create and delete files and directories, and gc might (re-)create a
path that 'rm' already visited and removed, triggering the above error
message when 'rm' attempts to remove its parent directory.
Commit bb05510e5 (t5510: run auto-gc in the foreground, 2016-05-01)
fixed the same problem in a different test script by simply
disallowing background gc. Unfortunately, what worked there is not
applicable here, because the purpose of this test is to check the
behavior of a detached auto gc.
Make sure that the test doesn't continue before the gc is finished in
the background with a clever bit of shell trickery:
- Open fd 9 in the shell, to be inherited by the background gc
process, because our daemonize() only closes the standard fds 0,
1 and 2.
- Duplicate this fd 9 to stdout.
- Read 'git gc's stdout, and thus fd 9, through a command
substitution. We don't actually care about gc's output, but this
construct has two useful properties:
- This read blocks until stdout or fd 9 are open. While stdout is
closed after the main gc process creates the background process
and exits, fd 9 remains open until the backround process exits.
- The variable assignment from the command substitution gets its
exit status from the command executed within the command
substitution, i.e. a failing main gc process will cause the test
to fail.
Note, that this fd trickery doesn't work on Windows, because due to
MSYS limitations the git process only inherits the standard fds 0, 1
and 2 from the shell. Luckily, it doesn't matter in this case,
because on Windows daemonize() is basically a noop, thus 'git gc
--auto' always runs in the foreground.
And since we can now continue the test reliably after the detached gc
finished, check that there is only a single packfile left at the end,
i.e. that the detached gc actually did what it was supposed to do.
Also add a comment at the end of the test script to warn developers of
future tests about this issue of long running detached gc processes.

Previous to commit 5d8f084a5 (pathspec: simpler logic to prefix original
pathspec elements, 2017-01-04), we were always using the computed
`match` variable to perform pathspec matching whenever
`PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` is set. This is for example useful when passing
the parsed pathspecs to other commands, as the computed `match` may
contain a pathspec relative to the repository root. The commit changed
this logic to only do so when we do have an actual prefix and when
literal pathspecs are deactivated.
But this change may actually break some commands which expect passed
pathspecs to be relative to the repository root. One such case is `git
add --patch`, which now fails when using relative paths from a
subdirectory. For example if executing "git add -p ../foo.c" in a
subdirectory, the `git-add--interactive` command will directly pass
"../foo.c" to `git-ls-files`. As ls-files is executed at the
repository's root, the command will notice that "../foo.c" is outside
the repository and fail.
Fix the issue by again using the computed `match` variable when
`PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` is set and global literal pathspecs are
deactivated. Note that in contrast to previous behavior, we will now
always call `prefix_magic` regardless of whether a prefix is actually
set. But this is the right thing to do: when the `match` variable has
been resolved to the repository's root, it will be set to an empty
string. When passing the empty string directly to other commands, it
will result in a warning regarding deprecated empty pathspecs. By always
adding the prefix magic, we will end up with at least the string
":(prefix:0)" and thus avoid the warning.

Since references under "refs/bisect/" are per-worktree, they have to
be sought in the worktree rather than in the main repository. But
since loose references are found by traversing directories, the
reference iterator won't even get the idea to look for a
"refs/bisect/" directory in the worktree if there is not a directory
with that name in the main repository. Thus `get_ref_dir()` manually
inserts a dir_entry for "refs/bisect/" whenever it reads the entry for
"refs/".
The current code then immediately calls `read_loose_refs()` on that
directory. But since the dir_entry is created with its `incomplete`
flag set, any traversal that gets to this point will read the
directory automatically. So there is no need to call
`read_loose_refs()` explicitly; the lazy mechanism suffices.
And in fact, the attempt to `read_loose_refs()` was broken anyway.
That function needs its `dirname` argument to have a trailing `/`
character, but the invocation here was passing it "refs/bisect"
without a trailing slash. So `read_loose_refs()` would read
`$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect" correctly, but if it found an entry "foo" in
that directory, it would try to read "$GIT_DIR/refs/bisectfoo".
Normally it wouldn't find anything at that path, but the failure was
canceled out because `get_ref_dir()` *also* forgot to reset the
`REF_INCOMPLETE` bit on the dir_entry. So the read was attempted again
when it was accessed, via the lazy mechanism, and this time the read
was done correctly.
This code has been broken since it was first introduced.
