[PATCH 12/28] attr: convert git_all_attrs() to use "struct git_attr_check"

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This updates the other two ways the attribute check is done via an array of "struct git_attr_check_elem" elements. These two niches appear only in "git check-attr".

 * The caller does not know offhand what attributes it wants to ask
   about and cannot use git_attr_check_initl() to prepare the
   git_attr_check structure.
 * The caller may not know what attributes it wants to ask at all,
   and instead wants to learn everything that the given path has.

Such a caller can call git_attr_check_alloc() to allocate an empty git_attr_check, and then call git_attr_check_append() to add attribute names one by one. A new attribute can be appended until git_attr_check structure is "finalized", which happens when it is used to ask for attributes for any path by calling git_check_attr() or git_all_attrs(). A git_attr_check structure that is initialized by git_attr_check_initl() is already finalized when it is returned.

I am not at all happy with the way git_all_attrs() API turned out to be, but it is only to support one niche caller ("check-attr --all"), so I'll stop here for now.
