When parsing server capabilities, we use "int" to store lengths and
offsets. At first glance this seems like a spot where our parser may be
confused by integer overflow if somebody sent us a malicious response.

In practice these strings are all bounded by the 64k limit of a
pkt-line, so using "int" is OK. However, it makes the code simpler to
audit if they just use size_t everywhere. Note that because we take
these parameters as pointers, this also forces many callers to update
their declared types.

Commit eb398797cd (connect: advertized capability is not a ref,
2016-09-09) added support for an upload-pack server responding with:

  0000000000000000000000000000000000000000        capabilities^{}

followed by a NUL and the actual capabilities. We correctly parse the
oid using the packet_reader's hash_algo field, but then we compare it to
null_oid(), which will instead use our current repo's default algorithm.
If we're defaulting to sha256 locally but the other side is sha1, they
won't match and we'll fail to parse the line (and thus die()).

This can cause a test failure when the suite is run with
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256, and we even do so regularly via the
linux-sha256 CI job. But since the test requires JGit to run, it's
usually just skipped, and nobody noticed the problem.

The reason the original patch used JGit is that Git itself does not ever
produce such a line via upload-pack; the feature was added to fix a
real-world problem when interacting with JGit. That was good for
verifying that the incompatibility was fixed, but it's not a good
regression test:

  - hardly anybody runs it, because you have to have jgit installed;
    hence this bug going unnoticed

  - we're depending on jgit's behavior for the test to do anything
    useful. In particular, this behavior is only relevant to the v0
    protocol, but these days we ask for the v2 protocol by default. So
    for modern jgit, this is probably testing nothing.

  - it's complicated and slow. We had to do some fifo trickery to handle
    races, and this one test makes up 40% of the runtime of the total
    script.

Instead, let's just hard-code the response that's of interest to us.
That will test exactly what we want for every run, and reveals the bug
when run in sha256 mode. And of course we'll fix the actual bug by using
the correct hash_algo struct.

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=aa962fef27f8f2a7128a9f16a84e749e14120336'/>
<id>urn:sha1:aa962fef27f8f2a7128a9f16a84e749e14120336</id>
<content type='text'>
If Git's client-side parsing of an upload-pack response (so git-fetch or
ls-remote) sees multiple instances of a single capability, it can enter
an infinite loop due to a bug in advancing the "offset" parameter in the
parser.

This bug can't happen between a client and server of the same Git
version. The client bug is in parse_feature_value() when the caller
passes in an offset parameter. And that only happens when the v0
protocol is parsing "symref" and "object-format" capabilities, via
next_server_feature_value(). But Git has never produced multiple
object-format capabilities, and it stopped producing multiple symref
values in d007dbf7d6 (Revert "upload-pack: send non-HEAD symbolic refs",
2013-11-18).

However, upload-pack did produce multiple symref entries for a while,
and they are valid. Plus other implementations, such as Dulwich will
still do so. So we should handle them. And even if we do not expect it,
it is obviously a bug for the parser to enter an infinite loop.

The bug itself is pretty simple. Commit 2c6a403d96 (connect: add
function to parse multiple v1 capability values, 2020-05-25) added the
"offset" parameter, which is used as both an in- and out-parameter. When
parsing the first "symref" capability, *offset will be 0 on input, and
after parsing the capability, we set *offset to an index just past the
value by taking a pointer difference "(value + end) - feature_list".

But on the second call, now *offset is set to that larger index, which
lets us skip past the first "symref" capability. However, we do so by
incrementing feature_list. That means our pointer difference is now too
small; it is counting from where we resumed parsing, not from the start
of the original feature_list pointer. And because we incremented
feature_list only inside our function, and not the caller, that
increment is lost next time the function is called.

One solution would be to account for those skipped bytes by incrementing
*offset, rather than assigning to it. But wait, there's more!

We also increment feature_list if we have a near-miss. Say we are
looking for "symref" and find "almost-symref". In that case we'll point
feature_list to the "y" in "almost-symref" and restart our search. But
that again means our offset won't be correct, as it won't account for
the bytes between the start of the string and that "y".

So instead, let's just record the beginning of the feature_list string
in a separate pointer that we never touch. That offset we take in and
return is meant to be using that point as a base, and now we'll do so
consistently.

Since the bug can't be reproduced using the current version of
git-upload-pack, we'll instead hard-code an input which triggers the
problem. Before this patch it loops forever re-parsing the second symref
entry. Now we check both that it finishes, and that it parses both
entries correctly (a case we could not test at all before).

We don't need to worry about testing v2 here; it communicates the
capabilities in a completely different way, and doesn't use this code at
all. There are tests earlier in t5512 that are meant to cover this (they
don't, but we'll address that in a future patch).

Several files were including cache.h solely to get other headers, such
as trace.h and trace2.h.  Since the last few commits have modified
files to make these dependencies more explicit, the inclusion of cache.h
is no longer needed in several cases.  Remove it.

Dozens of files made use of trace and trace2 functions, without
explicitly including trace.h or trace2.h.  This made it more difficult
to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h.  Make C files
explicitly include trace.h or trace2.h if they are using them.
