In preparation for changing the default branch name to `main`, let's
skip the suffix "into main" in merge commit messages, the same way that
"into master" has been skipped by default.

In Git 2.28, we stopped special casing 'master' when producing the
default merge message by just removing the code to squelch "into
'master'" at the end of the message.
Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable
that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch
into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which
branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not
set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default.
The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories
that have no relevant configuration.
Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration
variable from future regression.

This reverts commit 489947cee5, which
stopped treating merges into the 'master' branch as special when
preparing the default merge message. As the goal was not to have
any single branch designated as special, it solved it by leaving the
"into <branchname>" at the end of the title of the default merge
message for any and all branches. An obvious and easy alternative
to treat everybody equally could have been to remove it for every
branch, but that involves loss of information.
We'll introduce a new mechanism to let end-users specify merges into
which branches would omit the "into <branchname>" from the title of
the default merge message, and make the mechanism, when unconfigured,
treat the traditional 'master' special again, so all the changes to
the tests we made earlier will become unnecessary, as these tests
will be run without configuring the said new mechanism.

In the context of many projects renaming their primary branch names away
from `master`, Git wants to stop treating the `master` branch specially.
Let's start with `git fmt-merge-msg`.

Compilation fix.
* dd/sparse-fixes:
progress.c: silence cgcc suggestion about internal linkage
graph.c: limit linkage of internal variable
compat/regex: move stdlib.h up in inclusion chain
test-parse-pathspec-file.c: s/0/NULL/ for pointer type
Code in builtin/*, i.e. those can only be called from within
built-in subcommands, that implements bulk of a couple of
subcommands have been moved to libgit.a so that they could be used
by others.
* dl/libify-a-few:
Lib-ify prune-packed
Lib-ify fmt-merge-msg
In builtin.h, there exists the distinctly "lib-ish" function
fmt_merge_msg(). This function can currently only be called by built-in
commands but, unlike most of the other functions in the header, it does
not make sense to impose this restriction as the functionality can be
logically reused in libgit.
Extract this function into fmt-merge-msg.c so that related definitions
can exist clearly in their own header file.
While we're at it, clean up #includes that are unused.
This patch is best viewed with --color-moved.
