[PATCH v2/GSoC 2/4] path.c: implement xdg_runtime_dir()
this function does the following:
1. if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is non-empty, `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/git` is used in next
step, otherwise `/tmp/git-$uid` is taken.
2. ensure that above directory does exist. what's more, it must has correct
permission and ownership.
3. a newly allocated string consisting of the path of above directory and
$filename is returned.
Under following situation, NULL will be returned:
+ the directory mentioned in step 1 exists but have wrong permission or
ownership.
+ the directory or its parent cannot be created.
Notice:
+ the caller is responsible for deallocating the returned string.
