OPT_PARSE_LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT() with a non-NULL second argument
passes a function pointer via an object pointer, which is undefined.  It
may work fine on platforms that implement C99 extension J.5.7 (Function
pointer casts).  Remove the unused macro and avoid the dependency on
that extension.

Originally, the filter_spec field was just a string pointer. In
cf9ceb5a12 (list-objects-filter-options: make filter_spec a string_list,
2019-06-27) it became a string_list, but that commit notes:

    A strbuf would seem to be a more natural choice for this object, but
    it unfortunately requires initialization besides just zero'ing out
    the memory.  This results in all container structs, and all
    containers of those structs, etc., to also require initialization.
    Initializing them all would be more cumbersome that simply using a
    string_list, which behaves properly when its contents are zero'd.

Now that we've changed the struct to require non-zero initialization
anyway (ironically, because string_list also needed non-zero
initialization to avoid leaks), we can now convert to that more natural
type.

This makes the list_objects_filter_spec() function much less awkward, as
it had to collapse the string_list to a single-entry list on the fly.

<id>urn:sha1:2a01bdedf87d7cbfc4411ff5059cfe406e1637db</id>
<content type='text'>
In 7e2619d8ff (list_objects_filter_options: plug leak of filter_spec
strings, 2022-09-08), we noted that the filter_spec string_list was
inconsistent in how it handled memory ownership of strings stored in the
list. The fix there was a bit of a band-aid to set the "strdup_strings"
variable right before adding anything.

That works OK, and it lets the users of the API continue to
zero-initialize the struct. But it makes the code a bit hard to follow
and accident-prone, as any other spots appending the filter_spec need to
think about whether to set the strdup_strings value, too (there's one
such spot in partial_clone_get_default_filter_spec(), which is probably
a possible memory leak).

So let's do that full cleanup now. We'll introduce a
LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT macro and matching function, and use them as
appropriate (though it is for the "_options" struct, this matches the
corresponding list_objects_filter_release() function).

This is harder than it seems! Many other structs, like
git_transport_data, embed the filter struct. So they need to initialize
it themselves even if the rest of the enclosing struct is OK with
zero-initialization. I found all of the relevant spots by grepping
manually for declarations of list_objects_filter_options. And then doing
so recursively for structs which embed it, and ones which embed those,
and so on.

I'm pretty sure I got everything, but there's no change that would alert
the compiler if any topics in flight added new declarations. To catch
this case, we now double-check in the parsing function that things were
initialized as expected and BUG() if appropriate.

<title>pack-objects: lazily set up "struct rev_info", don't leak</title>

<content type='text'>
In the preceding [1] (pack-objects: move revs out of
get_object_list(), 2022-03-22) the "repo_init_revisions()" was moved
to cmd_pack_objects() so that it unconditionally took place for all
invocations of "git pack-objects".

We'd thus start leaking memory, which is easily reproduced in
e.g. git.git by feeding e83c5163316 (Initial revision of "git", the
information manager from hell, 2005-04-07) to "git pack-objects";

    $ echo e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290 | ./git pack-objects initial

Narrowly fixing that commit would have been easy, just add call
repo_init_revisions() right before get_object_list(), which is
effectively what was done before that commit.

But an unstated constraint when setting it up early is that it was
needed for the subsequent [2] (pack-objects: parse --filter directly
into revs.filter, 2022-03-22), i.e. we might have a --filter
command-line option, and need to either have the "struct rev_info"
setup when we encounter that option, or later.

Let's just change the control flow so that we'll instead set up the
"struct rev_info" only when we need it. Doing so leads to a bit more
verbosity, but it's a lot clearer what we're doing and why.

An earlier version of this commit[3] went behind
opt_parse_list_objects_filter()'s back by faking up a "struct option"
before calling it. Let's avoid that and instead create a blessed API
for this pattern.

We could furthermore combine the two get_object_list() invocations
here by having repo_init_revisions() invoked on &amp;pfd.revs, but I think
clearly separating the two makes the flow clearer. Likewise
redundantly but explicitly (i.e. redundant v.s. a "{ 0 }") "0" to
"have_revs" early in cmd_pack_objects().

While we're at it add parentheses around the arguments to the OPT_*
macros in in list-objects-filter-options.h, as we need to change those
lines anyway. It doesn't matter in this case, but is good general
practice.

The v3 bundle format has capabilities, allowing newer versions of Git to
create bundles with newer features. Older versions that do not
understand these new capabilities will fail with a helpful warning.

Create a new capability allowing Git to understand that the contained
pack-file is filtered according to some object filter. Typically, this
filter will be "blob:none" for a blobless partial clone.

This change teaches Git to parse this capability, place its value in the
bundle header, and demonstrate this understanding by adding a message to
'git bundle verify'.

Since we will use gently_parse_list_objects_filter() outside of
list-objects-filter-options.c, make it an external method and move its
API documentation to before its declaration.

As we add more embedded members with type 'struct
list_objects_filter_options', it will be important to easily perform a
deep copy across multiple such structs. Create
list_objects_filter_copy() to satisfy this need.

This method is recursive to match the recursive nature of the struct.

<title>list-objects: implement object type filter</title>

While it already is possible to filter objects by some criteria in
git-rev-list(1), it is not yet possible to filter out only a specific
type of objects. This makes some filters less useful. The `blob:limit`
filter for example filters blobs such that only those which are smaller
than the given limit are returned. But it is unfit to ask only for these
smallish blobs, given that git-rev-list(1) will continue to print tags,
commits and trees.

Now that we have the infrastructure in place to also filter tags and
commits, we can improve this situation by implementing a new filter
which selects objects based on their type. Above query can thus
trivially be implemented with the following command:

    $ git rev-list --objects --filter=object:type=blob \
        --filter=blob:limit=200

Furthermore, this filter allows to optimize for certain other cases: if
for example only tags or commits have been selected, there is no need to
walk down trees.

The new filter is not yet supported in bitmaps. This is going to be
implemented in a subsequent commit.

<title>Use OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_F</title>

<content type='text'>
In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.

Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:

	#!/bin/sh

	do_replacement () {
		tr '\n' '\r' |
			sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |
			sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' |
			tr '\r' '\n'
	}

	for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
	do
		do_replacement &lt;"$f" &gt;"$f.tmp"
		mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
	done

The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.
