4b8a2717bb win32: add a helper to run git.exe without a foreground window
On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.

When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.

To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

8868b1ebfb config: pass kvi to die_bad_number()
Plumb "struct key_value_info" through all code paths that end in
die_bad_number(), which lets us remove the helper functions that read
analogous values from "struct config_reader". As a result, nothing reads
config_reader.config_kvi any more, so remove that too.

In config.c, this requires changing the signature of
git_configset_get_value() to 'return' "kvi" in an out parameter so that
git_configset_get_<type>() can pass it to git_config_<type>(). Only
numeric types will use "kvi", so for non-numeric types (e.g.
git_configset_get_string()), pass NULL to indicate that the out
parameter isn't needed.

Outside of config.c, config callbacks now need to pass "ctx->kvi" to any
of the git_config_<type>() functions that parse a config string into a
number type. Included is a .cocci patch to make that refactor.

The only exceptional case is builtin/config.c, where git_config_<type>()
is called outside of a config callback (namely, on user-provided input),
so config source information has never been available. In this case,
die_bad_number() defaults to a generic, but perfectly descriptive
message. Let's provide a safe, non-NULL for "kvi" anyway, but make sure
not to change the message.

a4e7e317f8 config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

0a3a972c16 contrib/credential: embiggen fixed-size buffer in wincred
As in previous commits, harden the wincred credential helper against the
aforementioned protocol injection attack.

Unlike the approached used for osxkeychain and libsecret, where a
fixed-size buffer was replaced with `getline()`, we must take a
different approach here. There is no `getline()` equivalent in Windows,
and the function is not available to us with ordinary compiler settings.

Instead, allocate a larger (still fixed-size) buffer in which to process
each line. The value of 100 KiB is chosen to match the maximum-length
header that curl will allow, CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER.

To ensure that we are reading complete lines at a time, and that we
aren't susceptible to a similar injection attack (albeit with more
padding), ensure that each read terminates at a newline (i.e., that no
line is more than 100 KiB long).

Note that it isn't sufficient to turn the old loop into something like:

    while (len && strchr("\r\n", buf[len - 1])) {
      buf[--len] = 0;
      ends_in_newline = 1;
    }

because if an attacker sends something like:

    [aaaaa.....]\r
    host=example.com\r\n

the credential helper would fill its buffer after reading up through the
first '\r', call fgets() again, and then see "host=example.com\r\n" on
its line.

Note that the original code was written in a way that would trim an
arbitrary number of "\r" and "\n" from the end of the string. We should
get only a single "\n" (since the point of `fgets()` is to return the
buffer to us when it sees one), and likewise would not expect to see
more than one associated "\r". The new code trims a single "\r\n", which
matches the original intent.

64f1e658e9 contrib/credential: avoid fixed-size buffer in libsecret
The libsecret credential helper reads the newline-delimited
protocol stream one line at a time by repeatedly calling fgets() into a
fixed-size buffer, and is thus affected by the vulnerability described
in the previous commit.

To mitigate this attack, avoid using a fixed-size buffer, and instead
rely on getline() to allocate a buffer as large as necessary to fit the
entire content of the line, preventing any protocol injection.

In most parts of Git we don't assume that every platform has getline().
But libsecret is primarily used on Linux, where we do already assume it
(using a knob in config.mak.uname). POSIX also added getline() in 2008,
so we'd expect other recent Unix-like operating systems to have it
(e.g., FreeBSD also does).

Note that the buffer was already allocated on the heap in this case, but
we'll swap `g_free()` for `free()`, since it will now be allocated by
the system `getline()`, rather than glib's `g_malloc()`.

functionality. The last commit to do substantial work in this area was
15f7221686 (contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: support really
ancient gnome-keyring, 2013-09-23), just shy of nine years ago.

This credential helper suffers from the same `fgets()`-related injection
attack (using the new "wwwauth[]" feature) as in the previous commit.
Instead of patching it, let's remove this helper as deprecated.

5747c8072b contrib/credential: avoid fixed-size buffer in osxkeychain
The macOS Keychain-based credential helper reads the newline-delimited
protocol stream one line at a time by repeatedly calling fgets() into a
fixed-size buffer, and is thus affected by the vulnerability described
in the previous commit.

To mitigate this attack, avoid using a fixed-size buffer, and instead
rely on getline() to allocate a buffer as large as necessary to fit the
entire content of the line, preventing any protocol injection.

We solved a similar problem in a5bb10fd5e (config: avoid fixed-sized
buffer when renaming/deleting a section, 2023-04-06) by switching to
strbuf_getline(). We can't do that here because the contrib helpers do
not link with the rest of Git, and so can't use a strbuf. But we can use
the system getline() directly, which works similarly.

In most parts of Git we don't assume that every platform has getline().
But this helper is run only on OS X, and that platform added support in
10.7 ("Lion") which was released in 2011.

3bd0097cfc cocci: codify authoring and reviewing practices
These practices largely reflect what we are already doing on the mailing
list, which should help new Coccinelle authors and reviewers get up to
speed.

197152098a completion: suppress unwanted unescaping of read
The function `__git_eread`, which reads the first line from the file,
calls the `read` builtin without passing the flag option `-r`.  When
the `read` builtin is called without the flag `-r`, it processes the
backslash escaping in the text that it reads.  For this reason, it is
generally considered the best practice to always use the `read`
builtin with flag `-r` unless one intensionally processes the
backslash escaping.  For the present case in git-prompt.sh, in fact,
all the occurrences of the calls of `__git_eread` intend to read the
literal content of the first lines.

To make it read the first line literally, pass the flag `-r` to the
`read` builtin in the function `__git_eread`.

138ef8068c cocci: remove 'unused.cocci'
When 'unused.cocci' was added in 4f40f6cb73 (cocci: add and apply a
rule to find "unused" strbufs, 2022-07-05) it found three unused
strbufs, and when it was generalized in the next commit it managed to
find an unused string_list as well.  That's four unused variables in
over 17 years, so apparently we rarely make this mistake.

Unfortunately, applying 'unused.cocci' is quite expensive, e.g. it
increases the from-scratch runtime of 'make coccicheck' by over 5:30
minutes or over 160%:

  $ make -s cocciclean
  $ time make -s coccicheck
      * new spatch flags

  real    8m56.201s
  user    0m0.420s
  sys     0m0.406s
  $ rm contrib/coccinelle/unused.cocci contrib/coccinelle/tests/unused.*
  $ make -s cocciclean
  $ time make -s coccicheck
      * new spatch flags

  real    3m23.893s
  user    0m0.228s
  sys     0m0.247s

That's a lot of runtime spent for not much in return, and arguably an
unused struct instance sneaking in is not that big of a deal to
justify the significantly increased runtime.

Remove 'unused.cocci', because we are not getting our CPU cycles'
worth.
