<content type='text'>
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.

It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.

Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit

For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).

Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

<title>hash: require hash algorithm in `hasheq()`, `hashcmp()` and `hashclr()`</title>

<content type='text'>
Many of our hash functions have two variants, one receiving a `struct
git_hash_algo` and one that derives it via `the_repository`. Adapt all
of those functions to always require the hash algorithm as input and
drop the variants that do not accept one.

As those functions are now independent of `the_repository`, we can move
them from "hash.h" to "hash-ll.h".

Note that both in this and subsequent commits in this series we always
just pass `the_repository-&gt;hash_algo` as input even if it is obvious
that there is a repository in the context that we should be using the
hash from instead. This is done to be on the safe side and not introduce
any regressions. All callsites should eventually be amended to use a
repo passed via parameters, but this is outside the scope of this patch
series.

Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c
  * builtin/pull.c
  * builtin/send-pack.c

<title>object-store-ll.h: split this header out of object-store.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The vast majority of files including object-store.h did not need dir.h
nor khash.h.  Split the header into two files, and let most just depend
upon object-store-ll.h, while letting the two callers that need it
depend on the full object-store.h.

After this patch:
    $ git grep -h include..object-store | sort | uniq -c
          2 #include "object-store.h"
        129 #include "object-store-ll.h"

Diff best viewed with `--color-moved`.

When "gc" needs to retain unreachable objects, packing them into
cruft packs (instead of exploding them into loose object files) has
been offered as a more efficient option for some time.  Now the use
of cruft packs has been made the default and no longer considered
an experimental feature.

* tb/enable-cruft-packs-by-default:
  repository.h: drop unused `gc_cruft_packs`
  builtin/gc.c: make `gc.cruftPacks` enabled by default
  t/t9300-fast-import.sh: prepare for `gc --cruft` by default
  t/t6500-gc.sh: add additional test cases
  t/t6500-gc.sh: refactor cruft pack tests
  t/t6501-freshen-objects.sh: prepare for `gc --cruft` by default
  t/t5304-prune.sh: prepare for `gc --cruft` by default
  builtin/gc.c: ignore cruft packs with `--keep-largest-pack`
  builtin/repack.c: fix incorrect reference to '-C'
  pack-write.c: plug a leak in stage_tmp_packfiles()

The function `stage_tmp_packfiles()` generates a filename to use for
staging the contents of what will become the pack's ".mtimes" file.

The name is generated in `write_mtimes_file()` and the result is
returned back to `stage_tmp_packfiles()` which uses it to rename the
temporary file into place via `rename_tmp_packfiles()`.

`write_mtimes_file()` returns a `const char *`, indicating that callers
are not expected to free its result (similar to, e.g., `oid_to_hex()`).
But callers are expected to free its result, so this return type is
incorrect.

Change the function's signature to return a non-const `char *`, and free
it at the end of `stage_tmp_packfiles()`.

The function `stage_tmp_packfiles()` generates a filename to use for
staging the contents of what will become the pack's ".rev" file.

The name is generated in `write_rev_file_order()` (via its caller
`write_rev_file()`) in a string buffer, and the result is returned back
to `stage_tmp_packfiles()` which uses it to rename the temporary file
into place via `rename_tmp_packfiles()`.

That name is not visible outside of `stage_tmp_packfiles()`, so it can
(and should) be `free()`'d at the end of that function. We can't free it
in `rename_tmp_packfile()` since not all of its `source` arguments are
unreachable after calling it.

Instead, simply free() `rev_tmp_name` at the end of
`stage_tmp_packfiles()`.

(Note that the same leak exists for `mtimes_tmp_name`, but we do not
address it in this commit).
