[PATCH v9 0/4] Introduce libgit-rs, a Rust wrapper around libgit.a

This series provides two small Rust wrapper libraries around parts of
Git: "libgit-sys", which exposes a few functions from libgit.a, and
"libgit", which provides a more Rust-friendly interface to some of those
functions. In addition to included unit tests, at $DAYJOB we have tested
building JJ[1] with our library and used it to replace some of the
libgit2-rs uses.

There is known NEEDSWORK, but I feel that they can be addressed in follow-up changes, rather than in this series. If you feel otherwise, please let me know:

* Investigate alternative methods of managing symbol visibility &
  renaming.

* Figure out symbol versioning

Changes in V9:
* Properly initialize Makefile var LIBGIT_PUB_OBJS.

* Pass the correct pointer to free in libgit_configset_free().

Changes in V8:
* Define a private libgit_config_set struct to avoid excessive casting
  in public_symbol_export.c.

* Style fixes: merge some Makefile rules, limit rule line length by
  defining intermediate variables, add initial empty comment line, add
  linebreaks in function definitions.

Changes in V7:
* Moved the ConfigSet implementation in libgit-rs to a `config` module.

* Added doc comments for ConfigSet and its methods.

* Fix meson builds by adding new object files to `libgit_sources`

* Moved INCLUDE_LIBGIT_RS Makefile changes earlier in the series, so
  that we can make it optional to compile some of the libgitpub sources.
  Squashed V6 patch 5/5 into this series' patch 4/4.

* Don't publicly export FFI types in libgit-rs.

* Removed extraneous `-r` argument to $(RM) in the clean rules.

* Added TODO reminder in Cargo.toml about removing Cargo.lock once we
  hit a certain minimum supported Rust version.

* Style cleanup in public_symbol_export.c

Changes in V6:
* Rebased onto current master, since V5 was several months old.

* Move libgit-sys out of libgit-rs; while this sort of nesting is common
  in Rust crates with standalone repositories, it doesn't make as much
  sense when they're contained in the larger Git project's repo.

* Standardize the naming of some of the Makefile targets to always
  include a dash in the "-rs" or "-sys" suffixes.

* Clean up READMEs and crate descriptions in preparation for
  uploading to crates.io.

Changes in V5:
* When building with INCLUDE_LIBGIT_RS defined, add
  "-fvisibility=hidden" to CFLAGS. This allows us to manage symbol
  visibility in libgitpub.a without causing `make all` to rebuild from
  scratch due to changing CFLAGS.

* Avoid using c_int in the higher-level Rust API.

* Remove libgitpub.a and intermediate files with `make clean`.

Changes in V4:
* Drop V3 patch #3, which added wrappers around repository
  initialization and config access. These are not well-libified, and
  they are not necessary for JJ's proof-of-concept use case, so let's
  avoid exporting them for now.

* Set a minimum supported Rust version of 1.63. Autodetect whether our
  Rust version has c_int and c_char types; if not, define them
  ourselves.

* When building libgitpub.a via build.rs, set DEVELOPER=1 to catch
  additional errors at build time.

* In build.rs, use the make_cmd crate to portable select the correct
  invocation of GNU Make.

* Follow naming standards for _alloc() and _free() functions.

* Use String instead of CString in higher-level API.

* Move libgit_configset_alloc() and libgit_configset_free() out of
  upstream Git, to the libgitpub shim library.

* In libgitpub, initialize libgit_config_set structs in the _alloc()
  function rather than with a separate _init() function.

* Remove unnecessary comments in libgit-sys showing where the wrapped
  functions were originally defined.

* Fix clippy lint: don't reborrow configfile path references.

* Various typo fixes and `cargo fmt` fixes.

Changes in V3:
* Renamed cgit-rs to libgit-rs and cgit-sys to libgit-sys

* Makefile cleanup, particularly adding config.mak options that
  developers can set to run Rust builds and tests by default (Patch 6)

* Provide testdata configs for unit tests

* ConfigSet API now uses &Path instead of &str -- more ergonomic for
  Rust users to pass in and errors out if the path string isn't UTF-8

* Fixed unresolved dependency on libz in Cargo.toml
