This topic branch adds the support for --filters (TAFKA --smudge) and
--path (TAFKA --use-path).
While at it, we also add support for --filters/--textconv in --batch mode
(the input lines now need to contain the path in addition to the object
name, separated by a single white space character).

This branch allows third-party tools to call `git status
--no-lock-index` to avoid lock contention with the interactive Git usage
of the actual human user.

This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ directory.

When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.
Let's introduce the option `--no-lock-index` to prevent such problems.
The idea is that the third-party tool calls `git status` with this
option, preventing it from ever updating the index.
The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.
Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really*
verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in
a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only*
when `git status` is run without `--no-lock-index`.

issue #790: git bundle create does not close handle to *.lock file
This problem happens when an user tries to create an empty bundle, using the
following command: `git bundle create <bundle> <revlist>` and when <revlist>
resolve to an empty list (for example, like `master..master`), `git bundle` fails
and warn the user about how it don't want to create empty bundle.
In that case, git tries to delete the `<bundle>.lock` file, and since there's still
an open file handle, fails to do so and ask the user if it should retry (which will
fail again).
The lock can still be deleted manually by the user (and it is required if the user
want to create a bundle after revising his rev-list).

On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still
handles held by a process. To remedy that, we introduced the
close_all_packs() function.
Earlier, we made sure that the packs are released just before `git gc`
is spawned, in case that gc wants to remove no-longer needed packs.
But this developer forgot that gc itself also needs to let go of packs,
e.g. when consolidating all packs via the --aggressive option.
Likewise, `git repack -d` wants to delete obsolete packs and therefore
needs to close all pack handles, too.

git commit --amend preserves the author details unless --reset-author is
given.
git-gui discards the author details on amend.
Fix by reading the author details along with the commit message, and
setting the appropriate environment variables required for preserving
them.

The CreateProcessW() function does not really support spaces in its
first argument, lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as
lpApplicationName, which makes it figure out the application from the
(possibly quoted) first argument of lpCommandLine.
Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches
the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains
spaces.

This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git

intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config
file takes an even lower precedence than `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig`.

When user is asked for credentials there is no need to mask username,
so PROMPT_ASKPASS flag on calling credential_ask_one for login is
unnecessary.
credential_ask_one internally uses git_prompt which in case of given
flag PROMPT_ASKPASS uses masked input method instead of
git_terminal_prompt, which does not mask user input.

After `git merge --squash` git creates .git/SQUASH_MSG (UTF-8 encoded)
which contains squashed commits. When run `git gui` it copies SQUASH_MSG
to PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG, but without honoring UTF-8. This leads to encoding
problems on `git gui` commit prompt.
The same applies on git cherry-pick conflict, where MERGE_MSG is created
and then is copied to PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG.
In both cases PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG must be configured to store data in UTF-8.

When a 1-line file is augmented by a second line, and the user tries to
stage that single line via the "Stage Line" context menu item, we do not
want to see "apply: corrupt patch at line 5".
The reason for this error was that the hunk header looks like this:
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
but the existing code expects the original range always to contain a
comma. This problem is easily fixed by cutting the string "1 +1,2"
(that Git GUI formerly mistook for the starting line) at the space.

When using remotes (with git-flow especially), the remote reference names
are almost always wordwrapped in the "list references" window because it's
somewhat narrow by default. It's possible to resize it with a mouse,
but it's annoying to have to do this every time, especially on Windows 10,
where the window border seems to be only one (1) pixel wide, thus making
the grabbing of the window border tricky.

In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is quite
small, but there are ways to circumvent that limit in many cases, it is
very important that users be given an indication why their command
failed because of too long paths when it did.
This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have
helped the user who reported Git for Windows' issue 521:
