Remove full index requirement for `git diff-files`. Refactor the
ensure_expanded and ensure_not_expanded functions by introducing a
common helper function, ensure_index_state. Add test to ensure the index
is no expanded in `git diff-files`.

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~96% execution time reduction for 'git
diff-files' and a ~97% execution time reduction for 'git diff-files'
for a file using a sparse index:

<title>cocci: apply "pending" index-compatibility to some "builtin/*.c"</title>

<content type='text'>
Apply "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" rule to "builtin/*", but
exclude those where we conflict with in-flight changes.

As a result some of them end up using only "the_index", so let's have
them use the more narrow "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE" rather than
"USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS".

Manual changes not made by coccinelle, that were squashed in:

* Whitespace-wrap argument lists for repo_hold_locked_index(),
  repo_read_index_preload() and repo_refresh_and_write_index(), in cases
  where the line became too long after the transformation.
* Change "refresh_cache()" to "refresh_index()" in a comment in
  "builtin/update-index.c".
* For those whose call was followed by perror("&lt;macro-name&gt;"), change
  it to perror("&lt;function-name&gt;"), referring to the new function.

<title>built-ins: consistently add "\n" between "usage" and options</title>

<id>urn:sha1:acf7828e388a67f6a7a025dc68b7012a6c3eee75</id>
<content type='text'>
Change commands in the "diff" family and "rev-list" to separate the
usage information and option listing with an empty line.

In the case of "git diff -h" we did this already (but let's use a
consistent "\n" pattern there), for the rest these are now consistent
with how the parse_options() API would emit usage.

As we'll see in a subsequent commit this also helps to make the "git
&lt;cmd&gt; -h" output more easily machine-readable, as we can assume that
the usage information is separated from the options by an empty line.

Note that "COMMON_DIFF_OPTIONS_HELP" starts with a "\n", so the
seeming omission of a "\n" here is correct, the second one is provided
by the macro.

<title>diff-files: move misplaced cleanup label</title>

<id>urn:sha1:04393ae7f7951ba8af982cd1943c4dfb3102f6ed</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 0139c58ab9 (revisions API users: add "goto cleanup" for
release_revisions(), 2022-04-13) converted an early return in
cmd_diff_files() into a goto. But it put the cleanup label too early: if
read_cache_preload() returns an error, we'll set result to "-1", but
then jump to calling run_diff_files(), overwriting our result.

We should jump past the call to run_diff_files(). Likewise, we should go
past diff_result_code(), which is expecting to see a code from an actual
diff, not a negative error code.

In practice, I suspect this bug cannot actually be triggered, because
read_cache_preload() does not seem to ever return an error. Its return
value (eventually) comes from do_read_index(), which gives the number of
cache entries found, and calls die() on error. Still, it makes sense to
fix the inadvertent change from 0139c58ab9 first, and we can look into
the overall error handling of read_cache() separately (which is present
in many other callsites).

Add a release_revisions() to various users of "struct rev_info" which
requires a minor refactoring to a "goto cleanup" pattern to use that
function.

In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning.  Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.

 - "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
   paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
   shows patch to C D E A B instead.  It is an error when there is
   no patch for C is shown.

 - "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
   and shows patch to C D E.  Again, it is an error when there is no
   patch for C is shown.

 - "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
   error if there is no change to the specified path.  Instead, the
   set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
   or the first path that sorts after the specified path.

When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths.  On macOS, $(pwd) and
readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch.  This
has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
command line arguments.

The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS:

  DIR=git-test-restore-p
  Adiarnfd=$(printf 'A\314\210')
  DIRNAME=xx${Adiarnfd}yy
  mkdir $DIR &amp;&amp;
  cd $DIR &amp;&amp;
  git init &amp;&amp;
  mkdir $DIRNAME &amp;&amp;
  cd $DIRNAME &amp;&amp;
  echo "Initial" &gt;file &amp;&amp;
  git add file &amp;&amp;
  echo "One more line" &gt;&gt;file &amp;&amp;
  echo y | git restore -p .

 Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/
 BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item
 Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat
 [snip]

The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo.
Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts:
The path to the repo and "the rest", if any.
"The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code.

As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine
"/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the
configuration file .git/config is found.

The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the
pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later.
If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this),
"dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå".

Git commands need to:

 (a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode"
 (b) precocompose argv[]
 (c) precompose the prefix, if there was any

The first commit,
76759c7dff53 "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode"
addressed (a) and (b).

The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c,
because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written.

Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs.

The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff`
learned (a) and (b) in
commit 90a78b83e0b8 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv"

Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points
resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in
commit 8e712ef6fc97 "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places"

The bug report from above shows 2 things:
- more commands need to handle precomposed unicode
- (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs

Solution:
precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into
precompose_argv_prefix().

Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read
into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before.
This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before.

The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff53, placed
precompose_argv() into parse-options.c

Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well.  Existing precompose
calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we
audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they
can never be reached without going through the new call added to
run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones.

But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these
precompose callsites as they are.  Because precompose() is
idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string
safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully
vetting the callflows.

There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix.
Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should
be done in future commits.
