[PATCH v10] credential-store: ignore bogus lines from store file

With the added checks for invalid URLs in credentials, any locally modified store files which might have empty lines or even comments were reported[1] failing to parse as valid credentials.

Instead of doing a hard check for credentials, do a soft one and therefore avoid the reported fatal error.

As a special case, flag files with CRLF endings as invalid early to prevent current problems in credential_from_url_gently() with handling of '\r' in the host.

While at it add tests for all known corruptions that are currently ignored to keep track of them and avoid the risk of regressions.

v10:
* go back to v4 but with better testing and commit message
* make sure broken CR characters are ignored early
v9:
* use strbuf_getline() instead to better handle files with CRLF
v8:
* only warn during get operations as otherwise line number might be
  incorrect
v7:
* check for protocol in helper as suggested by Junio
v6:
* get rid of redacter and only use line number for context in warning
* make validation more strict to also catch incomplete credentials
* reorder check as suggested by Junio
v5:
* q_to_tab this round, with a single echo to make sure empty line
  is covered, as that seems to be a popular issue
* rebase on top of jc/credential-store-file-format-doc
* implement a redacter for credentials to use on errors to avoid
  leaking passwords
v4:
* use credential_from_url_gently instead as shown by Jonathan
* add documentation to clarify "comments" is not a supported feature
v3:
* avoid using q_to_cr as suggested by Peff
* a more verbose commit message and slightly more complete documentation
v2:
* use a here-doc for clarity as suggested by Eric
* improve commit message and include documentation
