[PATCH v5 0/9] git add -i: add a rudimentary version in C (supporting only status and help so far)

From

In-Reply-To
<pull.170.v4.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

This is the first leg on the long journey to a fully built-in git add -i (next up: parts 2 [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/171], 3 [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/172], 4 [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/173], 5 [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/174], and 6 [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/175]). Note: the latter PRs are not necessarily up to date, and will be re-targeted to the appropriate branches in https://github.com/gitster/git as soon as Junio picks them up.

This here patch series reflects the part that was submitted a couple of times (see https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/103) during the Outreachy project by Slavica Ðukic that continued the journey based on an initial patch series by Daniel Ferreira.

It only implements the status and the help part, in the interest of making the review remotely more reviewable.

As I am a heavy user of git add -p myself and use a patched version for several months already (it is so nice to not suffer over one second startup until the MSYS2 Perl finally shows me anything, instead it feels instantaneous), I integrated these patch series into Git for Windows already, as an opt-in feature guarded by the config variable add.interactive.useBuiltin (and Git for Windows' installer knows to detect this version and offer the option in the graphical user interface).

Changes since v4:
 * Rebased onto current master to make use of Thomas Gummerer's 
   repo_refresh_and_write_index() as well as to avoid merge conflicts with
   Eric Wong's work on struct hashmap.
 * Instead of rolling a dedicated data struct to simulate a Trie, we now use 
   string-list extensively (an unsorted copy and a sorted one, the latter to
   determine unique prefixes). This had massive ramifications on the rest of
   the patches... For example, the struct command_item structure no longer
   contains the name field, but is intended to be a util in a string_list.
 * Changed the commit messages and author lines to reflect Slavica's name
   correctly.
 * Touched up a couple commit messages.
Changes since v3:
 * Rebased to v2.23.0 to reduce friction.
 * free_diffstat_info() is now made public as well, and used, to avoid a
   memory leak.
 * Prepared the patches for ew/hashmap (which is strict about the hashmap
   entries' type in hashmap_entry_init() and friends).
 * The private data types have been moved from prefix-map.h to prefix-map.c.
 * A lot of int types were converted to more appropriate size_t in 
   prefix-map.c.
 * A misleading parameter name list was renamed to the correct array.
 * The code comment above find_unique_prefixes() was (hopefully) improved.
 * The run_help() function's signature now reflects that most of the
   parameters are actually unused.
Changes since v2:
 * Rebased to master to avoid merge conflicts.
 * Renumbered the prefix-map test to avoid conflicts with two patch series
   that are currently in-flight in pu.
Changes since v1:
 * The config machinery was reworked completely, to not use a callback to 
   git_config(), but instead to query the config via the repo_config_get_*() 
   functions. This also prevents a future "Huh???" moment: the internal add
   --interactive API accepts a parameter of type struct repository *r, but
   the previous configuration did not use that to query the config (and
   could in the future be a repository other than the_repository).
   
   
 * As a consequence, the color sequences are no longer stored in file-local
   variables, but passed around via a struct.
   
   
 * Instead of using the magical constant -2 to quit the main loop, it is now
   defined as LIST_AND_CHOOSE_QUIT (and likewise, LIST_AND_CHOOSE_ERROR is
   defined as -1 and used where appropriate).
   
   
 * Improved the add_prefix_item() function by avoiding buffer overruns, not
   reusing the struct that is used for lookup also for adding the new item,
   and by strengthening the bug check.

     +    While this might seem like overkill for a single command, it will make
     +    much more sense when all the commands are implemented, and when we reuse
     +    the same logic to present a list of files to edit, with convenient
     +    unique prefixes.
     +
     +    At the start of the development of this patch series, a dedicated data
     +    structure was introduced that imitated the Trie that the Perl version
     +    implements. However, this was deemed overkill, and we now simply sort
     +    the list before determining the length of the unique prefixes by looking
     +    at each item's neighbor. As a bonus, we now use the same sorted list to
     +    perform a binary search using the user-provided prefix as search key.
