alloc_nr, ALLOC_GROW, and ALLOC_GROW_BY are commonly used macros for
dynamic array allocation. Moving these macros to git-compat-util.h with
the other alloc macros focuses alloc.[ch] to allocation for Git objects
and additionally allows us to remove inclusions to alloc.h from files
that solely used the above macros.

<title>builtins: mark unused prefix parameters</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5247b762d0c22875c4ac71183e89b50d9f9acc2d</id>
<content type='text'>
All builtins receive a "prefix" parameter, but it is only useful if they
need to adjust filenames given by the user on the command line. For
builtins that do not even call parse_options(), they often don't look at
the prefix at all, and -Wunused-parameter complains.

Let's annotate those to silence the compiler warning. I gave a quick
scan of each of these cases, and it seems like they don't have anything
they _should_ be using the prefix for (i.e., there is no hidden bug that
we are missing). The only questionable cases I saw were:

  - in git-unpack-file, we create a tempfile which will always be at the
    root of the repository, even if the command is run from a subdir.
    Arguably this should be created in the subdir from which we're run
    (as we report the path only as a relative name). However, nobody has
    complained, and I'm hesitant to change something that is deep
    plumbing going back to April 2005 (though I think within our
    scripts, the sole caller in git-merge-one-file would be OK, as it
    moves to the toplevel itself).

  - in fetch-pack, local-filesystem remotes are taken as relative to the
    project root, not the current directory. So:

       git init server.git
       [...put stuff in server.git...]
       git init client.git
       cd client.git
       mkdir subdir
       cd subdir
       git fetch-pack ../../server.git ...

    won't work, as we quietly move to the top of the repository before
    interpreting the path (so "../server.git" would work). This is
    weird, but again, nobody has complained and this is how it has
    always worked. And this is how "git fetch" works, too. Plus it
    raises questions about how a configured remote like:

      git config remote.origin.url ../server.git

    should behave. I can certainly come up with a reasonable set of
    behavior, but it may not be worth stirring up complications in a
    plumbing tool.

So I've left the behavior untouched in both of those cases. If anybody
really wants to revisit them, it's easy enough to drop the UNUSED
marker. This commit is just about removing them as obstacles to turning
on -Wunused-parameter all the time.

Dozens of files made use of gettext functions, without explicitly
including gettext.h.  This made it more difficult to find which files
could remove a dependence on cache.h.  Make C files explicitly include
gettext.h if they are using it.

However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an
include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an
in-flight topic.

<title>git_connect(): fix corner cases in downgrading v2 to v0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eaa0fd658442c2b83dfad918d636bba3ca3b4087</id>
<content type='text'>
There's code in git_connect() that checks whether we are doing a push
with protocol_v2, and if so, drops us to protocol_v0 (since we know
how to do v2 only for fetches). But it misses some corner cases:

  1. it checks the "prog" variable, which is actually the path to
     receive-pack on the remote side. By default this is just
     "git-receive-pack", but it could be an arbitrary string (like
     "/path/to/git receive-pack", etc). We'd accidentally stay in v2
     mode in this case.

  2. besides "receive-pack" and "upload-pack", there's one other value
     we'd expect: "upload-archive" for handling "git archive --remote".
     Like receive-pack, this doesn't understand v2, and should use the
     v0 protocol.

In practice, neither of these causes bugs in the real world so far. We
do send a "we understand v2" probe to the server, but since no server
implements v2 for anything but upload-pack, it's simply ignored. But
this would eventually become a problem if we do implement v2 for those
endpoints, as older clients would falsely claim to understand it,
leading to a server response they can't parse.

We can fix (1) by passing in both the program path and the "name" of the
operation. I treat the name as a string here, because that's the pattern
set in transport_connect(), which is one of our callers (we were simply
throwing away the "name" value there before).

We can fix (2) by allowing only known-v2 protocols ("upload-pack"),
rather than blocking unknown ones ("receive-pack" and "upload-archive").
That will mean whoever eventually implements v2 push will have to adjust
this list, but that's reasonable. We'll do the safe, conservative thing
(sticking to v0) by default, and anybody working on v2 will quickly
realize this spot needs to be updated.

The new tests cover the receive-pack and upload-archive cases above, and
re-confirm that we allow v2 with an arbitrary "--upload-pack" path (that
already worked before this patch, of course, but it would be an easy
thing to break if we flipped the allow/block logic without also handling
"name" separately).

Here are a few miscellaneous implementation notes, since I had to do a
little head-scratching to understand who calls what:

  - transport_connect() is called only for git-upload-archive. For
    non-http git remotes, that resolves to the virtual connect_git()
    function (which then calls git_connect(); confused yet?). So
    plumbing through "name" in connect_git() covers that.

  - for regular fetches and pushes, callers use higher-level functions
    like transport_fetch_refs(). For non-http git remotes, that means
    calling git_connect() under the hood via connect_setup(). And that
    uses the "for_push" flag to decide which name to use.

  - likewise, plumbing like fetch-pack and send-pack may call
    git_connect() directly; they each know which name to use.

  - for remote helpers (including http), we already have separate
    parameters for "name" and "exec" (another name for "prog"). In
    process_connect_service(), we feed the "name" to the helper via
    "connect" or "stateless-connect" directives.

    There's also a "servpath" option, which can be used to tell the
    helper about the "exec" path. But no helpers we implement support
    it! For http it would be useless anyway (no reasonable server
    implementation will allow you to send a shell command to run the
    server). In theory it would be useful for more obscure helpers like
    remote-ext, but even there it is not implemented.

    It's tempting to get rid of it simply to reduce confusion, but we
    have publicly documented it since it was added in fa8c097cc9
    (Support remote helpers implementing smart transports, 2009-12-09),
    so it's possible some helper in the wild is using it.

  - So for v2, helpers (again, including http) are mainly used via
    stateless-connect, driven by the main program. But they do still
    need to decide whether to do a v2 probe. And so there's similar
    logic in remote-curl.c's discover_refs() that looks for
    "git-receive-pack". But it's not buggy in the same way. Since it
    doesn't support servpath, it is always dealing with a "service"
    string like "git-receive-pack". And since it doesn't support
    straight "connect", it can't be used for "upload-archive".

    So we could leave that spot alone. But I've updated it here to match
    the logic we're changing in connect_git(). That seems like the least
    confusing thing for somebody who has to touch both of these spots
    later (say, to add v2 push support). I didn't add a new test to make
    sure this doesn't break anything; we already have several tests (in
    t5551 and elsewhere) that make sure we are using v2 over http.

This allows us to replace includes of cache.h with includes of the much
smaller alloc.h in many places.  It does mean that we also need to add
includes of alloc.h in a number of C files.
