[PATCH 3/4] __attribute__: mark some functions with LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL

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

Message-ID
<20240608183747.2084294-4-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<20240608183747.2084294-1-gitster@pobox.com>

Some varargs functions that use NULL-terminated parameter list were missing __attributes__ ((sentinel)) aka LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL.

Add them.
