<title>refs: introduce wrapper struct for `each_ref_fn`</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=bdbebe5714b25dc9d215b48efbb80f410925d7dd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bdbebe5714b25dc9d215b48efbb80f410925d7dd</id>
<content type='text'>
The `each_ref_fn` callback function type is used across our code base
for several different functions that iterate through reference. There's
a bunch of callbacks implementing this type, which makes any changes to
the callback signature extremely noisy. An example of the required churn
is e8207717f1 (refs: add referent to each_ref_fn, 2024-08-09): adding a
single argument required us to change 48 files.

It was already proposed back then [1] that we might want to introduce a
wrapper structure to alleviate the pain going forward. While this of
course requires the same kind of global refactoring as just introducing
a new parameter, it at least allows us to more change the callback type
afterwards by just extending the wrapper structure.

One counterargument to this refactoring is that it makes the structure
more opaque. While it is obvious which callsites need to be fixed up
when we change the function type, it's not obvious anymore once we use
a structure. That being said, we only have a handful of sites that
actually need to populate this wrapper structure: our ref backends,
"refs/iterator.c" as well as very few sites that invoke the iterator
callback functions directly.

Introduce this wrapper structure so that we can adapt the iterator
interfaces more readily.

<title>treewide: pass strvecs around for setup_revisions_from_strvec()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:18068139f2d0fc2aa82f34f2c177d781e228e732</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit converted callers of setup_revisions() with a strvec
to use the safer and easier _from_strvec() variant.

Let's now convert spots that don't directly have a strvec, but receive
an argc/argv pair that eventually comes from one. We'll instead pass the
strvec down to the point where we call setup_revisions().

That makes these functions slightly less flexible if they were to grow
other callers that don't use strvecs, but this rigidity is buying us
some safety. It is only safe to pass the free_removed_argv_elements
option to setup_revisions() if we know the elements of argv/argc are
allocated on the heap. That isn't communicated in the type system when
we are passed the bare elements. But if we get a strvec, we know that
the elements are allocated strings.

And at any rate, each of these modified functions has only a single
caller (that has a strvec), so the loss of flexibility is unlikely to
ever matter.

Rename `has_object()` to `odb_has_object()` to match other functions

Introduce a compatibility wrapper so that any in-flight topics will
continue to compile.

<content type='text'>
In the preceding commits we have renamed the structures contained in
"object-store.h" to `struct object_database` and `struct odb_backend`.
As such, the code files "object-store.{c,h}" are confusingly named now.
Rename them to "odb.{c,h}" accordingly.

<title>treewide: convert users of `repo_has_object_file()` to `has_object()`</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=062b914c841329a003f74e1340ea5178391274a6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:062b914c841329a003f74e1340ea5178391274a6</id>
<content type='text'>
As the comment of `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
variant tells us, these functions are considered to be deprecated in
favor of `has_object()`. There are a couple of slight benefits in favor
of the replacement:

  - The new function has a short-and-sweet name.

  - More explicit defaults: `has_object()` doesn't fetch missing objects
    via promisor remotes, and neither does it reload packfiles if an
    object wasn't found by default. This ensures that it becomes
    immediately obvious when a simple object existence check may result
    in expensive actions.

Most importantly though, it is confusing that we have two sets of
functions that ultimately do the same thing, but with different
defaults.

Start sunsetting `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
sibling by replacing all callsites with `has_object()`:

  - `repo_has_object_file(...)` is equivalent to
    `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED | HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK | OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., 0)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

The replacements should be functionally equivalent.

<content type='text'>
The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.

Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

<title>object: stop depending on `the_repository`</title>

<content type='text'>
There are a couple of functions exposed by "object.c" that implicitly
depend on `the_repository`. Remove this dependency by injecting the
repository via a parameter. Adapt callers accordingly by simply using
`the_repository`, except in cases where the subsystem is already free of
the repository. In that case, we instead pass the repository provided by
the caller's context.
