We prefer for callback functions to match the signature with which
they'll be called, rather than casting them to the correct type when
assigning function pointers. Even though casting often works in the real
world, it is a violation of the standard.

We did a mass conversion in 939af16eac (hashmap_cmp_fn takes
hashmap_entry params, 2019-10-06), but have grown a few new cases since
then. Because of the cast, the compiler does not complain. However, as
of clang-18, UBSan will catch these at run-time, and the case in
range-diff.c triggers when running t3206.

After seeing that one, I scanned the results of:

  git grep '_fn)[^(]' '*.c' | grep -v typedef

and found a similar case in compat/terminal.c (which presumably isn't
called in the test suite, since it doesn't trigger UBSan). There might
be other cases lurking if the cast is done using a typedef that doesn't
end in "_fn", but loosening it finds too many false positives. I also
looked for:

  git grep ' = ([a-z_]*) *[a-z]' '*.c'

to find assignments that cast, but nothing looked like a function.

The resulting code is unfortunately a little longer, but the bonus of
using container_of() is that we are no longer restricted to the
hashmap_entry being at the start of the struct.

On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.

When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.

To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

<content type='text'>
since 5e1f28d (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_visualize()` shell
 function in C, 2021-09-13) `git bisect visualize` uses exists_in_PATH()
to check wether it should call `gitk`, but exists_in_PATH() relies on
locate_in_PATH() which currently only understands POSIX-ish PATH variables
(a list of paths, separated by colons) on native Windows executables
we encounter Windows PATH variables (a list of paths that often contain
drive letters (and thus colons), separated by semicolons). Luckily we do
already have a function that can lookup executables on windows PATHs:
path_lookup(). Implement a small replacement for the existing
locate_in_PATH() based on path_lookup().

<title>config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a4e7e317f8f27f861321e6eb08b9c8c0f3ab570c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.
