Even though the "struct odb_transaction" member is at the beginning
of the containing "struct odb_transaction_files", i.e., at offset 0,
using container_of() to add offset 0 to a NULL pointer gets flagged
as a bad behaviour under SANITIZE=undefined.
Use container_of_or_null() to work around this issue.

In add_pack(), we allocate l.remaining_objects with llist_init() before
calling open_pack_index(). If open_pack_index() fails we return NULL
without freeing the allocated list, leaking the memory.
Fix by calling llist_free(l.remaining_objects) on the error path before
returning.

The 'flags' and 'track_flags' fields in symlinks.c are used
strictly as a collection of bits (using bitwise operators including
&, |, ~). Using a signed integer for bitmasks may lead to undefined
behavior with shift operations and logic errors if the MSB is touched.
Change these fields from 'int' to 'unsigned int' to match our usage
patterns.

`should_ignore_subtree_split_commit` detects subtrees which are
outside of the current path --prefix and ignores them. This can
speed up splits of repositories that have many subtrees.
Since its inception [1], every iteration of this logic [2], [3]
incorrectly excludes commits. This alters the split history. The
split history and its commit hashes are API contract, so this is
not permissible.
While a commit from a different subtree may look like it doesn't
contribute anything to a split, sometimes it does. Merge commits
are a particular hot spot. For these, the pruning logic in
`copy_or_skip` performs:
1. a check for "treesame" parents
2. two different common ancestry checks
These checks operate on the **split history**, not the input
history. The split history omits commits that do not affect the
--prefix. This can significantly alter the ancestry of a merge.
In order to determine if `copy_or_skip` will skip a merge, it
is likely necessary to compute all the split history... which
is what `should_ignore_subtree_split_commit` tries to avoid.
To make this logic API-preserving, we could gate it behind a
new CLI argument. The present implementation is actually a
speed penalty in many cases, however, so this is not done here.
Remove the `should_ignore_subtree_split_commit` logic. This
fixes the regression reported in [4].
