Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash.  Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms.  Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.

Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

<title>hash: set, copy, and use algo field in struct object_id</title>

Now that struct object_id has an algorithm field, we should populate it.
This will allow us to handle object IDs in any supported algorithm and
distinguish between them.  Ensure that the field is written whenever we
write an object ID by storing it explicitly every time we write an
object.  Set values for the empty blob and tree values as well.

In addition, use the algorithm field to compare object IDs.  Note that
because we zero-initialize struct object_id in many places throughout
the codebase, we default to the default algorithm in cases where the
algorithm field is zero rather than explicitly initialize all of those
locations.

This leads to a branch on every comparison, but the alternative is to
compare the entire buffer each time and padding the buffer for SHA-1.
That alternative ranges up to 3.9% worse than this approach on the perf
t0001, t1450, and t1451.

In the future, we'll want oidread to automatically set the hash
algorithm member for an object ID we read into it, so ensure we use
oidread instead of hashcpy everywhere we're copying a hash value into a
struct object_id.

If notes.displayRef is configured with no value[1], control should be
returned to the caller when notes.c:notes_display_config() checks if 'v'
is NULL. Otherwise, both git log --notes and git diff-tree --notes will
subsequently segfault when refs.h:has_glob_specials() calls strpbrk()
with a NULL first argument.

.git/config:
[notes]
	displayRef
$ git -c notes.displayRef [...]

Add a function for inserting a C string into a strbuf.  Use it
throughout the source to get rid of magic string length constants and
explicit strlen() calls.

Like strbuf_addstr(), implement it as an inline function to avoid the
implicit strlen() calls to cause runtime overhead.

<id>urn:sha1:dbc27477ffb1e66f224f2e3e7d91b10c2274168e</id>
<content type='text'>
As noted in the previous commit, the nature of the fanout heuristic
in the notes code causes the exact point at which we increase or
decrease the notes fanout to vary with the objects being annotated.
Since the object ids generated by the test environment are
deterministic (by design), the notes generated and tested by t3305
are always the same, and we therefore happen to see the same fanout
behavior from one run to the next.

Coincidentally, if we were to change the test environment slightly
(say by making a test commit on an unrelated branch before we start
the t3305 test proper), we not only see the fanout switch happen at
different points, we also manage to trigger a _bug_ in the notes
code where the fanout 1 -&gt; 0 switch is not applied uniformly across
the notes tree, but instead yields a notes tree like this:

  ...
  bdeafb301e44b0e4db0f738a2d2a7beefdb70b70
  bff2d39b4f7122bd4c5caee3de353a774d1e632a
  d3/8ec8f851adf470131178085bfbaab4b12ad2a7
  e0b173960431a3e692ae929736df3c9b73a11d5b
  eb3c3aede523d729990ac25c62a93eb47c21e2e3
  ...

The bug occurs when we are writing out a notes tree with a newly
decreased fanout, and the notes tree contains unexpanded subtrees
that should be consolidated into the parent tree as a consequence of
the decreased fanout):

Subtrees that happen to sit at an _even_ level in the internal notes
16-tree structure (in other words: subtrees whose path - "d3" in the
example above - is unique in the first nibble - i.e. there are no
other note paths that start with "d") are _not_ unpacked as part of
the tree writeout. This error will repeat itself in subsequent note
trees until the subtree is forced to be unpacked. In t3305 this only
happens when the d38ec8f8 note is itself removed from the tree.

The error is not severe (no information is lost, and the notes code
is able to read/decode this tree and manipulate it correctly), but
this is nonetheless a bug in the current implementation that should
be fixed.

That said, fixing the off-by-one error is not without complications:
We must take into account that the load_subtree() call from
for_each_note_helper() (that is now done to correctly unpack the
subtree while we're writing out the notes tree) may end up inserting
unpacked non-notes into the linked list of non_note entries held by
the struct notes_tree. Since we are in the process of writing out the
notes tree, this linked list is currently in the process of being
traversed by write_each_non_note_until(). The unpacked non-notes are
necessarily inserted between the last non-note we wrote out, and the
next non-note to be written. Hence, we cannot simply hold the
next_non_note to write in struct write_each_note_data (as we would
then silently skip these newly inserted notes), but must instead
always follow the -&gt;next pointer from the last non-note we wrote.
(This part was caught by an existing test in t3304.)
