In git-restore we need to free the pathspec and pathspec_from_file
values from the struct checkout_opts.
A simple fix could be to free them in cmd_restore, after the call to
checkout_main returns, like we are doing [1][2] in the sibling function
cmd_checkout.
However, we can do even better.
We have git-switch and git-restore, both of them spin-offs[3][4] of
git-checkout. All three are implemented as thin wrappers around
checkout_main. Considering this, it makes a lot of sense to do the
cleanup closer to checkout_main.
Move the cleanups, including the new_branch_info variable, to
checkout_main.
As a consequence, mark: t2070, t2071, t2072 and t6418 as leak-free.

The Perl version of the add -i/-p commands has been removed since
20b813d (add: remove "add.interactive.useBuiltin" & Perl "git
add--interactive", 2023-02-07)
Therefore, Perl prerequisite in the test scripts which use the patch
mode functionality is not neccessary.

Currently, (restore, checkout, reset) commands correctly take '@' as a
synonym for 'HEAD'. However, in patch mode different prompts/messages
are given on command line due to patch mode machinery not considering
'@' to be a synonym for 'HEAD' due to literal string comparison with
the word 'HEAD', and therefore assigning patch_mode_($command)_nothead
and triggering reverse mode (-R in diff-index). The NEEDSWORK comment
suggested comparing commit objects to get around this. However, doing
so would also take a non-checked out branch pointing to the same commit
as HEAD, as HEAD. This would cause confusion to the user.
Therefore, after parsing '@', replace it with 'HEAD' as reasonably
early as possible. This also solves another problem of disparity
between 'git checkout HEAD' and 'git checkout @' (latter detaches at
the HEAD commit and the former does not).
Trade-offs:
- Some of the errors would show the revision argument as 'HEAD' when
given '@'. This should be fine, as most users who probably use '@'
would be aware that it is a shortcut for 'HEAD' and most probably
used to use 'HEAD'. There is also relevant documentation in
'gitrevisions' manpage about '@' being the shortcut for 'HEAD'. Also,
the simplicity of the solution far outweighs this cost.
- Consider '@' as a shortcut for 'HEAD' even if 'refs/heads/@' exists
at a different commit. Naming a branch '@' is an obvious foot-gun and
many existing commands already take '@' for 'HEAD' even if
'refs/heads/@' exists at a different commit or does not exist at all
(e.g. 'git log @', 'git push origin @' etc.). Therefore this is an
existing assumption and should not be a problem.

Running `git checkout -p` with a merge-base rev results in an error:
$ git checkout -p HEAD...
usage: git diff-index [-m] [--cached] [<common-diff-options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
common diff options:
-z output diff-raw with lines terminated with NUL.
-p output patch format.
-u synonym for -p.
--patch-with-raw
output both a patch and the diff-raw format.
--stat show diffstat instead of patch.
--numstat show numeric diffstat instead of patch.
--patch-with-stat
output a patch and prepend its diffstat.
--name-only show only names of changed files.
--name-status show names and status of changed files.
--full-index show full object name on index lines.
--abbrev=<n> abbreviate object names in diff-tree header and diff-raw.
-R swap input file pairs.
-B detect complete rewrites.
-M detect renames.
-C detect copies.
--find-copies-harder
try unchanged files as candidate for copy detection.
-l<n> limit rename attempts up to <n> paths.
-O<file> reorder diffs according to the <file>.
-S<string> find filepair whose only one side contains the string.
--pickaxe-all
show all files diff when -S is used and hit is found.
-a --text treat all files as text.
Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat --summary HEAD... -- () at <redacted>/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 183.
This happens because checkout passes the literal argument (in the
example, `HEAD...`) to diff-index which does not recognise merge-base
revs.
Fix this by using the hex of the found commit instead of the given name.
Note that "HEAD" is handled specially in run_add_interactive() so it's
explicitly not changed.
