The trailer API has been reshuffled a bit.
* la/hide-trailer-info:
trailer unit tests: inspect iterator contents
trailer: document parse_trailers() usage
trailer: retire trailer_info_get() from API
trailer: make trailer_info struct private
trailer: make parse_trailers() return trailer_info pointer
interpret-trailers: access trailer_info with new helpers
sequencer: use the trailer iterator
trailer: teach iterator about non-trailer lines
trailer: add unit tests for trailer iterator
Makefile: sort UNIT_TEST_PROGRAMS
git-commit adds user trailers to the commit message by passing its
`--trailer` arguments to a child process running `git-interpret-trailers
--in-place`. This logic is broadly useful, not just for git-commit but
for other commands constructing message bodies (e.g. git-tag).
Let's move this logic from git-commit to a new function in the trailer
API, so that it can be re-used in other commands.

inside it, we should give them guidance about how the (pointer to the)

In 13211ae23f (trailer: separate public from internal portion of
trailer_iterator, 2023-09-09) we moved trailer_info behind an anonymous
struct to discourage use by trailer.h API users. However it still left
open the possibility of external use of trailer_info itself. Now that
there are no external users of trailer_info, we can make this struct
private.
Make this struct private by putting its definition inside trailer.c.
This has two benefits:
(1) it makes the surface area of the public facing
interface (trailer.h) smaller, and
(2) external API users are unable to peer inside this struct (because
it is only ever exposed as an opaque pointer).
There are a few disadvantages:
(A) every time the member of the struct is accessed an extra pointer
dereference must be done, and
(B) for users of trailer_info outside trailer.c, this struct can no
longer be allocated on the stack and may only be allocated on the
heap (because its definition is hidden away in trailer.c) and
appropriately deallocated by the user, and
(C) without good documentation on the API, the opaque struct is
hostile to programmers by going opposite to the "Show me your
data structures, and I won't usually need your code; it'll
be obvious." mantra [2].
(The disadvantages have already been observed in the two preparatory
commits that precede this one.) This commit believes that the benefits
outweigh the disadvantages for designing APIs, as explained below.
Making trailer_info private exposes existing deficiencies in the API.
This is because users of this struct had full access to its internals,
so there wasn't much need to actually design it to be "complete" in the
sense that API users only needed to use what was provided by the API.
For example, the location of the trailer block (start/end offsets
relative to the start of the input text) was accessible by looking at
these struct members directly. Now that the struct is private, we have
to expose new API functions to allow clients to access this
information (see builtin/interpret-trailers.c).
The idea in this commit to hide implementation details behind an "opaque
pointer" is also known as the "pimpl" (pointer to implementation) idiom
in C++ and is a common pattern in that language (where, for example,
abstract classes only have pointers to concrete classes).
However, the original inspiration to use this idiom does not come from
C++, but instead the book "C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques
for Creating Reusable Software" [1]. This book recommends opaque
pointers as a good design principle for designing C libraries, using the
term "interface" as the functions defined in *.h (header) files and
"implementation" as the corresponding *.c file which define the
interfaces.
The book says this about opaque pointers:
... clients can manipulate such pointers freely, but they can’t
dereference them; that is, they can’t look at the innards of the
structure pointed to by them. Only the implementation has that
privilege. Opaque pointers hide representation details and help
catch errors.
In our case, "struct trailer_info" is now hidden from clients, and the
ways in which this opaque pointer can be used is limited to the richness
of <trailer.h>. In other words, <trailer.h> exclusively controls exactly
how "trailer_info" pointers are to be used.

This is the second and final preparatory commit for making the
trailer_info struct private to the trailer implementation.
Make trailer_info_get() do the actual work of allocating a new
trailer_info struct, and return a pointer to it. Because
parse_trailers() wraps around trailer_info_get(), it too can return this
pointer to the caller. From the trailer API user's perspective, the call
to trailer_info_new() can be replaced with parse_trailers(); do so in
interpret-trailers.
Because trailer_info_new() is no longer called by interpret-trailers,
remove this function from the trailer API.
With this change, we no longer allocate trailer_info on the stack ---
all uses of it are via a pointer where the actual data is always
allocated at runtime through trailer_info_new(). Make
trailer_info_release() free this dynamically allocated memory.
Finally, due to the way the function signatures of parse_trailers() and
trailer_info_get() have changed, update the callsites in
format_trailers_from_commit() and trailer_iterator_init() accordingly.

Previously the iterator did not iterate over non-trailer lines. This was
somewhat unfortunate, because trailer blocks could have non-trailer
lines in them since 146245063e (trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer
block, 2016-10-21), which was before the iterator was created in
f0939a0eb1 (trailer: add interface for iterating over commit trailers,
2020-09-27).
So if trailer API users wanted to iterate over all lines in a trailer
block (including non-trailer lines), they could not use the iterator and
were forced to use the lower-level trailer_info struct directly (which
provides a raw string array that includes all lines in the trailer
block).
Change the iterator's behavior so that we also iterate over non-trailer
lines, instead of skipping over them. The new "raw" member of the
iterator allows API users to access previously inaccessible non-trailer
lines. Reword the variable "trailer" to just "line" because this
variable can now hold both trailer lines _and_ non-trailer lines.
The new "raw" member is important because anyone currently not using the
iterator is using trailer_info's raw string array directly to access
lines to check what the combined key + value looks like. If we didn't
provide a "raw" member here, iterator users would have to re-construct
the unparsed line by concatenating the key and value back together again

Rename format_trailer_info() to format_trailers(). Finally, both

Update the comment in <trailer.h> to remove the (now obsolete) caveats

Now that the preparatory refactors are over, we can replace the call to
format_trailers() in interpret-trailers with format_trailer_info(). This
unifies the trailer formatting machinery
In order to avoid breakages in t7502 and t7513, we have to steal the
features present in format_trailers(). Namely, we have to teach
format_trailer_info() as follows:
(1) make it aware of opts->trim_empty, and
(2) make it avoid hardcoding ": " as the separator and space (which
can result in double-printing these characters).
For (2), make it only print the separator and space if we cannot find
any recognized separator somewhere in the key (yes, keys may have a
trailing separator in it --- we will eventually fix this design but not
now). Do so by copying the code out of print_tok_val(), and deleting the
same function.

Several helper functions that are called by interpret_trailers() remain
in trailer.c because other callers in the same file still call them.
Declare them in <trailer.h> so that interpret_trailers() (now in
builtin/interpret-trailers.c) can continue calling them as a trailer API
user.
This enriches <trailer.h> with a more granular API, which can then be
unit-tested in the future (because interpret_trailers() by itself does
too many things to be able to be easily unit-tested).

Currently there are two functions for formatting trailers in
<trailer.h>:
void format_trailers(const struct process_trailer_options *,
struct list_head *trailers, FILE *outfile);
void format_trailers_from_commit(struct strbuf *out, const char *msg,
const struct process_trailer_options *opts);
and although they are similar enough (even taking the same
process_trailer_options struct pointer) they are used quite differently.
One might intuitively think that format_trailers_from_commit() builds on
top of format_trailers(), but this is not the case. Instead
format_trailers_from_commit() calls format_trailer_info() and
format_trailers() is never called in that codepath.
This is a preparatory refactor to help us deprecate format_trailers() in
favor of format_trailer_info() (at which point we can rename the latter
to the former). When the deprecation is complete, both
format_trailers_from_commit(), and the interpret-trailers builtin will
be able to call into the same helper function (instead of
format_trailers() and format_trailer_info(), respectively). Unifying the
formatters is desirable because it simplifies the API.
Reorder parameters for format_trailers_from_commit() to prefer
const struct process_trailer_options *opts
as the first parameter, because these options are intimately tied to
formatting trailers. And take
struct strbuf *out
last, because it's an "out parameter" (something that the caller wants
to use as the output of this function).
Similarly, reorder parameters for format_trailer_info(), because later
on we will unify the two together.

Add support for a "keyonly". This allows for easier parsing out of the
key and value. Before if you didn't want to make assumptions about how
the key was formatted. You'd need to parse it out as e.g.:
--pretty=format:'%H%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00)' \
'%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,valueonly)'
And then proceed to deduce keys by looking at those two and
subtracting the value plus the hardcoded ": " separator from the
non-valueonly %(trailers) line. Now it's possible to simply do:
--pretty=format:'%H%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,keyonly)' \
'%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,valueonly)'
Which at least reduces it to a state machine where you get N keys and
correlate them with N values. Even better would be to have a way to
change the ": " delimiter to something easily machine-readable (a key
might contain ": " too). A follow-up change will add support for that.
I don't really have a use-case for just "keyonly" myself. I suppose it
would be useful in some cases as "key=*" matches case-insensitively,
so a plain "keyonly" will give you the variants of the keys you
matched. I'm mainly adding it to fix the inconsistency with
"valueonly".

Since it's meant to be scripted, breaking that would be a
