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`.

<id>urn:sha1:9c7d1b057ff36ee4190621d46e9fe3c83377aea7</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'read_replace_refs' global specifies whether or not we should
respect the references of the form 'refs/replace/&lt;oid&gt;' to replace which
object we look up when asking for '&lt;oid&gt;'. This global has caused issues
when it is not initialized properly, such as in b6551feadfd (merge-tree:
load default git config, 2023-05-10).

To make this more robust, move its config-based initialization out of
git_default_config and into prepare_repo_settings(). This provides a
repository-scoped version of the 'read_replace_refs' global.

The global still has its purpose: it is disabled process-wide by the
GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment variable or by a call to
disable_replace_refs() in some specific Git commands.

Since we already encapsulated the use of the constant inside
replace_refs_enabled(), we can perform the initialization inside that
method, if necessary. This solves the problem of forgetting to check the
config, as we will check it before returning this value.

Due to this encapsulation, the global can move to be static within
replace-object.c.

There is an interesting behavior change possible here: we now have a
repository-scoped understanding of this config value. Thus, if there was
a command that recurses into submodules and might follow replace refs,
then it would now respect the core.useReplaceRefs config value in each
repository.

'git grep --recurse-submodules' is such a command that recurses into
submodules in-process. We can demonstrate the granularity of this config
value via a test in t7814.

<title>replace-objects: create wrapper around setting</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f1178380ac645684fcf0519488f9336e55f0946f</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'read_replace_objects' constant is initialized by git_default_config
(if core.useReplaceRefs is disabled) and within setup_git_env (if
GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS) is set. To ensure that this variable cannot be
set accidentally in other places, wrap it in a replace_refs_enabled()
method.

Since we still assign this global in config.c, we are not able to remove
the global scope of this variable and make it a static within
replace-object.c. This will happen in a later change which will also
prevent the variable from being read before it is initialized.

Centralizing read access to the variable is an important first step.

<id>urn:sha1:d24eda4e03cabbd39ce06827d47e52a97b9095db</id>
<content type='text'>
Several builtins depend on being able to disable the replace references
so we actually operate on each object individually. These currently do
so by directly mutating the 'read_replace_refs' global.

A future change will move this global into a different place, so it will
be necessary to change all of these lines. However, we can simplify that
transition by abstracting the purpose of these global assignments with a
method call.

We will need to keep this read_replace_refs global forever, as we want
to make sure that we never use replace refs throughout the life of the
process if this method is called. Future changes may present a
repository-scoped version of the variable to represent that repository's
core.useReplaceRefs config value, but a zero-valued read_replace_refs
will always override such a setting.

<content type='text'>
Move struct object_info, and a few related #define's from cache.h to
object-store.h.

A surprising effect of this change is that replace-object.h, which
includes object-store.h, now needs to directly include cache.h since
that is where read_replace_refs is declared and that variable is used
in one of its inline functions.  The next commit will move that
declaration and fix that unfortunate new direct inclusion of cache.h.

<title>replace-object: make replace operations thread-safe</title>

<content type='text'>
replace-object functions are very close to being thread-safe: the only
current racy section is the lazy initialization at
prepare_replace_object(). The following patches will protect some object
reading operations to be called threaded, but before that, replace
functions must be protected. To do so, add a mutex to struct
raw_object_store and acquire it before lazy initializing the
replace_map. This won't cause any noticeable performance drop as the
mutex will no longer be used after the replace_map is initialized.

Later, when the replace functions are called in parallel, thread
debuggers might point our use of the added replace_map_initialized flag
as a data race. However, as this boolean variable is initialized as
false and it's only updated once, there's no real harm. It's perfectly
fine if the value is updated right after a thread read it in
replace-map.h:lookup_replace_object() (there'll only be a performance
penalty for the affected threads at that moment). We could cease the
debugger warning protecting the variable reading at the said function.
However, this would negatively affect performance for all threads
calling it, at any time, so it's not really worthy since the warning
doesn't represent a real problem. Instead, to make sure we don't get
false positives (at ThreadSanitizer, at least) an entry for the
respective function is added to .tsan-suppressions.

In previous patches, extern was mechanically removed from function
declarations without care to formatting, causing parameter lists to be
misaligned. Manually format changed sections such that the parameter
lists should be realigned.

Viewing this patch with 'git diff -w' should produce no output.

<id>urn:sha1:554544276a604c144df45efcb060c80aa322088c</id>
<content type='text'>
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.

This was the Coccinelle patch used:

	@@
	type T;
	identifier f;
	@@
	- extern
	  T f(...);

and it was run with:

	$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
		grep -v ^compat/ |
		xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place

Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.
