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

However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an
include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an
in-flight topic.

<title>for-each-ref: add ahead-behind format atom</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=49abcd21da65f12b4ae873433e5f6220bfaae1da'/>
<id>urn:sha1:49abcd21da65f12b4ae873433e5f6220bfaae1da</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous change implemented the ahead_behind() method, including an
algorithm to compute the ahead/behind values for a number of commit tips
relative to a number of commit bases. Now, integrate that algorithm as
part of 'git for-each-ref' hidden behind a new format atom,
ahead-behind. This naturally extends to 'git branch' and 'git tag'
builtins, as well.

This format allows specifying multiple bases, if so desired, and all
matching references are compared against all of those bases. For this
reason, failing to read a reference provided from these atoms results in
an error.

In order to translate the ahead_behind() method information to the
format output code in ref-filter.c, we must populate arrays of
ahead_behind_count structs. In struct ref_array, we store the full array
that will be passed to ahead_behind(). In struct ref_array_item, we
store an array of pointers that point to the relvant items within the
full array. In this way, we can pull all relevant ahead/behind values
directly when formatting output for a specific item. It also ensures the
lifetime of the ahead_behind_count structs matches the time that the
array is being used.

Add specific tests of the ahead/behind counts in t6600-test-reach.sh, as
it has an interesting repository shape. In particular, its merging
strategy and its use of different commit-graphs would demonstrate over-
counting if the ahead_behind() method did not already account for that
possibility.

Also add tests for the specific for-each-ref, branch, and tag builtins.
In the case of 'git tag', there are intersting cases that happen when
some of the selected tips are not commits. This requires careful logic
around commits_nr in the second loop of filter_ahead_behind(). Also, the
test in t7004 is carefully located to avoid being dependent on the GPG
prereq. It also avoids using the test_commit helper, as that will add
ticks to the time and disrupt the expected timestamps in later tag
tests.

Also add performance tests in a new p1300-graph-walks.sh script. This
will be useful for more uses in the future, but for now compare the
ahead-behind counting algorithm in 'git for-each-ref' to the naive
implementation by running 'git rev-list --count' processes for each
input.

For the Git source code repository, the improvement is already obvious:

Test                                            this tree
---------------------------------------------------------------
1500.2: ahead-behind counts: git for-each-ref   0.07(0.07+0.00)
1500.3: ahead-behind counts: git branch         0.07(0.06+0.00)
1500.4: ahead-behind counts: git tag            0.07(0.06+0.00)
1500.5: ahead-behind counts: git rev-list       1.32(1.04+0.27)

But the standard performance benchmark is the Linux kernel repository,
which demosntrates a significant improvement:

Test                                            this tree
---------------------------------------------------------------
1500.2: ahead-behind counts: git for-each-ref   0.27(0.24+0.02)
1500.3: ahead-behind counts: git branch         0.27(0.24+0.03)
1500.4: ahead-behind counts: git tag            0.28(0.27+0.01)
1500.5: ahead-behind counts: git rev-list       4.57(4.03+0.54)

The 'git rev-list' test exists in this change as a demonstration, but it
will be removed in the next change to avoid wasting time on this
comparison.

<title>treewide: remove unnecessary inclusions of parse-options.h from headers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c4d9c79378e9108358c3f20e27bc437754cd805d</id>
<content type='text'>
The headers 'diagnose.h', 'list-objects-filter-options.h',
'ref-filter.h' and 'remote.h' declare option parsing callback
functions with a 'struct option*' parameter, and 'revision.h' declares
an option parsing helper function taking 'struct parse_opt_ctx_t*' and
'struct option*' parameters.  These headers all include
'parse-options.h', although they don't need any of the type
definitions from that header file.  Furthermore,
'list-objects-filter-options.h' and 'ref-filter.h' also define some
OPT_* macros to initialize a 'struct option', but these don't
necessitate the inclusion of parse-options.h in these headers either,
because these macros are only expanded in source files.

Remove these unnecessary inclusions of parse-options.h and use forward
declarations to declare the necessary types.

After this patch none of the header files include parse-options.h
anymore.

With these changes, the build time after modifying only
parse-options.h is reduced by about 30%, and the number of targets
built is almost 20% less:

  Before:

    $ touch parse-options.h &amp;&amp; time make -j4 |wc -l
    353

    real    1m1.527s
    user    3m32.205s
    sys	    0m15.903s

  After:

    289

    real    0m39.285s
    user    2m12.540s
    sys     0m11.164s

<title>for-each-ref: delay parsing of --sort=&lt;atom&gt; options</title>

<id>urn:sha1:98e7ab6d42beba8b35fefb3856b07ac20e89d1ca</id>
<content type='text'>
The for-each-ref family of commands invoke parsers immediately when
it sees each --sort=&lt;atom&gt; option, and die before even seeing the
other options on the command line when the &lt;atom&gt; is unrecognised.

Instead, accumulate them in a string list, and have them parsed into
a ref_sorting structure after the command line parsing is done.  As
a consequence, "git branch --sort=bogus -h" used to fail to give the
brief help, which arguably may have been a feature, now does so,
which is more consistent with how other options work.

The patch is smaller than the actual extent of the "damage" to the
codebase, thanks to the fact that the original code consistently
used OPT_REF_SORT() macro to handle command line options.  We only
needed to replace the variable used for the list, and implementation
of the callback function used in the macro.

The old rule was for the users of the API to:

 - Declare ref_sorting and ref_sorting_tail variables;

 - OPT_REF_SORT() macro will instantiate ref_sorting instance (which
   may barf and die) and append it to the tail;

 - Append to the tail each ref_sorting read from the configuration
   by parsing in the config callback (which may barf and die);

 - See if ref_sorting is null and use ref_sorting_default() instead.

Now the rule is not all that different but is simpler:

 - Declare ref_sorting_options string list.

 - OPT_REF_SORT() macro will append it to the string list;

 - Append to the string list the sort key read from the
   configuration;

 - call ref_sorting_options() to turn the string list to ref_sorting
   structure (which also deals with the default value).

As side effects, this change also cleans up a few issues:

 - 95be717c (parse_opt_ref_sorting: always use with NONEG flag,
   2019-03-20) muses that "git for-each-ref --no-sort" should simply
   clear the sort keys accumulated so far; it now does.

 - The implementation detail of "struct ref_sorting" and the helper
   function parse_ref_sorting() can now be private to the ref-filter
   API implementation.

 - If you set branch.sort to a bogus value, the any "git branch"
   invocation, not only the listing mode, would abort with the
   original code; now it doesn't
