Patrick Steinhardt f89356db4a refs/reftable: expose auto compaction via new flag
Under normal circumstances, the "reftable" backend will automatically
perform compaction after appending to the stack. It is thus not
necessary and may even be considered wasteful to run git-pack-refs(1) in
"reftable"-backed repositories as it will cause the backend to compact
all tables into a single one. We do exactly that though when running
`git maintenance run --auto` or `git gc --auto`, which gets spawned by
Git after running some specific commands.

The `--auto` mode is typically only executing optimizations as needed.
To do so, we already use several heuristics for the various different
data structures in Git to determine whether to optimize them or not.
We do not use any heuristics for refs though and instead always optimize
them.

Introduce a new `PACK_REFS_AUTO` flag that can be passed to the backend.
When not handled by the backend we will continue to behave the exact
same as we do right now, that is we optimize refs unconditionally. This
is done for the "files" backend for now to retain current behaviour,
even though we may eventually also want to introduce heuristics here.
For the "reftable" backend though we already do have auto-compaction, so
we can easily reuse that logic to implement the new auto-packing flag.

Note that under normal circumstances, this should always end up being a
no-op. After all, we already invoke the code for every single addition
to the stack. But there are special cases where it can still be helpful
to execute the auto-compaction code explicitly:

  - Concurrent writers may cause compaction to not run due to locks.

  - Callers may decide to disable compaction altogether and then pack
    refs at a later point due to various reasons.

  - Other implementations of the reftable format may do compaction
    differently or even not at all.

* Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.

*
* If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
*
* If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
* depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
*
* - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
*
* - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear oid and return the name of
* the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
* reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
* "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
* that will actually be created or changed.
*
* If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
* level of symbolic reference. The value stored in oid for a symbolic
* reference will always be null_oid in this case, and the return
* value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
*
* If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
* combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
* packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
* symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
* formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
* (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
* on each flag.
*
* If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
* NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
* give up and return NULL.
*
* RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
* name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
* is bad then the value stored in oid will be null_oid and the two
* flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
*
* Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
* directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
* resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
* Caps and underscores refers to the pseudorefs, such as HEAD,
* FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

* A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

*
* Calling sequence
* ----------------
*
* - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
* `ref_transaction_begin()`.
*
* - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
* following functions:
* - `ref_transaction_update()`
* - `ref_transaction_create()`
* - `ref_transaction_delete()`
* - `ref_transaction_verify()`
*
* - Then either:
*
* - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
* transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
* etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
* transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
* succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
* succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
* if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
*
* - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
* make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
* haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
* `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
*
* Or
*
* - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
* known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
* clone). This is likely to be much faster than
* `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
* *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
*
* - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
* `ref_transaction` data structure.
*
* At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
* `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
* locks, and free any associated resources (including the
* `ref_transaction` data structure).
*
* Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
*
* struct ref_transaction *transaction;
* struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
* int ret = 0;
*
* transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
* if (!transaction ||
* ref_transaction_update(...) ||
* ref_transaction_create(...) ||
* ...etc... ||
* ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
* error("%s", err.buf);
* ret = -1;
* }
* ref_transaction_free(transaction);
* strbuf_release(&err);
* return ret;
*
* Error handling
* --------------
*
* On error, transaction functions append a message about what
* went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
* ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
* can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
*
* The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
* err will not be '\n' terminated.
*
* Caveats
* -------
*
* Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
* `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
* called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
* verification failure until the commit is attempted.

* meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
* or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
* before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
* transaction.
*
* flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
* update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
* REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
* information.
*
* msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
*
* err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
* might have occurred.
*
* The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the

*
* const char *path = "path/to/submodule"
* if (add_submodule_odb(path))

* do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
* to a valid object.
*
* Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
* objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
* will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
*
* Example:
* --------
*
* ----
* static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
* const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
* {
* struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
