Plug a leak we have since d6cf873340 (built-in add -p: implement the '/'
("search regex") command, 2019-12-13).

This leak can be triggered with:

    $ printf "A\n\nB\n" &gt;file
    $ git add file &amp;&amp; git commit -m file
    $ printf "AA\n\nBB\n" &gt;file
    $ printf "s\n/ .\n" &gt;lines
    $ git add -p &lt;lines

"git add -p" and other "interactive hunk selection" UI has learned to
skip showing the hunk immediately after it has already been shown, and
an additional action to explicitly ask to reshow the current hunk.

Printing the chunk again followed by the question can be confusing as
the user has to pay special attention to notice that the same chunk is
being reconsidered.

It can also be problematic if the chunk is longer than one screen height
because the result of the previous iteration is lost off the screen (the
help guide in the previous example).

To avoid such problems, stop printing the chunk if the iteration does
not advance to a different chunk.

Shortly we're going make interactive-patch stop printing automatically
the hunk under certain circumstances.

Let's introduce a new option to allow the user to explicitly request
the printing.

<title>find multi-byte comment chars in NUL-terminated strings</title>

<content type='text'>
Several parts of the code need to identify lines that begin with the
comment character, and do so with a simple byte equality check. As part
of the transition to handling multi-byte characters, we need to match
all of the bytes. For cases where we are looking in a NUL-terminated
string, we can just use starts_with(), which checks all of the
characters in comment_line_str.

Note that we can drop the "line.len" check in wt-status.c's
read_rebase_todolist(). The starts_with() function handles the case of
an empty haystack buffer (it will always return false for a non-empty
prefix).

<title>prefer comment_line_str to comment_line_char for printing</title>

<content type='text'>
As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, we should
use the string variable rather than the historical character variable.
All of the sites adjusted here are just swapping out "%c" for "%s" in
format strings, or strbuf_addch() for strbuf_addstr(). The type system
and printf-attribute give the compiler enough information to make sure
our formats and variable changes all match (especially important for
cases where the format string is defined far away from its use, like
prepare_to_commit() in commit.c).

<title>strbuf: accept a comment string for strbuf_commented_addf()</title>

<content type='text'>
As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, let's take a
NUL-terminated string pointer for strbuf_commented_addf() rather than a
single character.

All of the callers have to be adjusted, but they can just pass
comment_line_str rather than comment_line_char.

Note that we rely on strbuf_add_commented_lines() under the hood, so
we'll cheat a bit to squeeze our string into a single character (for now
the two are equivalent, and we'll address this TODO in the next patch).

<title>add-patch: classify '@' as a synonym for 'HEAD'</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=5a8ed3fe450caad740b1c236b3f14151f84bed05'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5a8ed3fe450caad740b1c236b3f14151f84bed05</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c
  * builtin/pull.c
  * builtin/send-pack.c
