[PATCH v4 1/2] builtin/apply: add 'lock_file' pointer into 'struct apply_state'

From: Christian Couder <christian.couder@gmail.com>

We cannot have a 'struct lock_file' allocated on the stack, as lockfile.c keeps a linked list of all created lock_file structures.

Also 'struct apply_state' users might later want the same 'struct lock_file' instance to be reused by different series of calls to the apply api.

So let's add a 'struct lock_file *lock_file' pointer into 'struct apply_state' and have the user of 'struct apply_state' allocate memory for the actual 'struct lock_file' instance.

Let's also add an argument to init_apply_state(), so that the caller can easily supply a pointer to the allocated instance.

This is to replace:
"[PATCH v3 48/49] builtin/apply: move 'lock_file' global into 'struct apply_state'"
from the "libify apply and use lib in am, part 1" patch series.
The changes are the following:
  - The "static struct lock_file lock_file" is not removed anymore.
  - init_apply_state() doesn't allocate a 'struct lock_file' anymore
    when passed a NULL 'struct lock_file' pointer.
  - A check that state->lock_file is not NULL has been added in
    check_apply_state().
  - Title and commit message have been modified to reflect the above
    changes.

This 2 patch long patch series on top of the other unchanged commits from v3 is available here:
