"git submodule deinit" for a submodule whose .git metadata
directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until
the submodule gets converted to use the "absorbed" form where the

command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form

There are certain C99 features that might be nice to use in our code
base, but we've hesitated to do so in order to avoid breaking
compatibility with older compilers. But we don't actually know if
people are even using pre-C99 compilers these days.
One way to figure that out is to introduce a very small use of a
feature, and see if anybody complains, and we've done so to probe
the portability for a few features like "trailing comma in enum
declaration", "designated initializer for struct", and "designated
initializer for array". A few years ago, we tried to use a handy
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
use(i);
to introduce a new variable valid only in the loop, but found that
some compilers we cared about didn't like it back then. Two years
is a long-enough time, so let's try it again.
If this patch can survive a few releases without complaint, then we
can feel more confident that variable declaration in for() loop is
supported by the compilers our user base use. And if we do get
complaints, then we'll have gained some data and we can easily
revert this patch.

The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a

flakiness has also been corrected.

The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It
provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for
macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a
wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use.
We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be
cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a
later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as
a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX
system which we are interested in supporting has C99.
Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and
C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an
older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some
implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU
coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009.
Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang
is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently
capable.
Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using
an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable
this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both
will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing
a problem to report that to us on the list.
Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we
use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it
doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be
replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0.
For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've
traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions
when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse
also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't.
Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this
because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly
support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the
C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we
don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers.
In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself,
since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking
for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make
it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate
option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that
doesn't support it by default.
