Revert "prompt: clean up strbuf usage"

This reverts commit 31b49d9b653803e7c7fd18b21c8bdd86e3421668.

That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our
buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a
pointer into our internal strbuf.  What it failed to notice,
though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we
are trying to emulate the getpass() interface.

By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that
cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static
buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt
wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from
do_askpass.

svn_fspath__skip_ancestor: Assertion

cat-file: provide %(deltabase) batch format

It can be useful for debugging or analysis to see which
objects are stored as delta bases on top of others. This
information is available by running `git verify-pack`, but
that is extremely expensive (and is harder than necessary to
parse).

Instead, let's make it available as a cat-file query format,
which makes it fast and simple to get the bases for a subset
of the objects.

sha1_object_info_extended: provide delta base sha1s

A caller of sha1_object_info_extended technically has enough
information to determine the base sha1 from the results of
the call. It knows the pack, offset, and delta type of the
object, which is sufficient to find the base.

However, the functions to do so are not publicly available,
and the code itself is intimate enough with the pack details
that it should be abstracted away. We could add a public
helper to allow callers to query the delta base separately,
but it is simpler and slightly more efficient to optionally
grab it along with the rest of the object_info data.

For cases where the object is not stored as a delta, we
write the null sha1 into the query field. A careful caller
could check "oi.whence == OI_PACKED && oi.u.packed.is_delta"
before looking at the base sha1, but using the null sha1
provides a simple alternative (and gives a better sanity
check for a non-careful caller than simply returning random
bytes).

"flush" callback, which cannot pass an error back to us. So
we just end up calling die() during the flush.

Let's just drop the return value altogether, as it only
confuses callers into thinking that it might be useful.

diff: let "git diff -O" read orderfile from any file and fail properly

The -O flag really shouldn't silently fail to do anything when given
a path that it can't read from.

However, it should be able to read from un-mmappable files, such as:

 * pipes/fifos

 * /dev/null:  It's a character device (at least on Linux)

 * ANY empty file:

   Quoting Linux mmap(2), "SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if
   length is 0.  However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in
   this case: no mapping was created and the call returned addr.  Since
   kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error EINVAL for this case."

We especially want "-O/dev/null" to work, since we will be documenting
it as the way to cancel "diff.orderfile" when we add that.

(Note: "-O/dev/null" did have the right effect, since the existing error
handling essentially worked out to "silently ignore the orderfile".  But
this was probably more coincidence than anything else.)

So, lets toss all of that logic to get the file mmapped and just use
strbuf_read_file() instead, which gives us decent error handling
practically for free.

docs: add filter-branch notes on The BFG

The BFG is a tool specifically designed for the task of removing
unwanted data from Git repository history - a common use-case for which
git-filter-branch has been the traditional workhorse.

It's beneficial to let users know that filter-branch has an alternative
here:

* speed : The BFG is 10-50x faster
  http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#speed
* complexity of configuration : filter-branch is a very flexible tool,
  but demands very careful usage in order to get the desired results
  http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#examples

Obviously, filter-branch has it's advantages too - it permits very
complex rewrites, and doesn't require a JVM - but for the common
use-case of deleting unwanted data, it's helpful to users to be aware
that an alternative exists.

The BFG was released under the GPL in February 2013, and has since seen
widespread production use (The Guardian, RedHat, Google, UK Government
Digital Service), been tested against large repos (~300K commits, ~5GB
packfiles) and received significant positive feedback from users:

Prevent buffer overflows when path is too long

Some buffers created with PATH_MAX length are not checked when being

path.

Replace those buffers by strbufs so that their size is automatically
grown if necessary. They are created as static local variables to avoid
reallocating memory on each call. Note that prefix_filename() returns

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy

to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.

This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
