Building "git contacts" script (in contrib/) left the resulting

The build procedure based on meson learned to allow builders to
specify the directory to install HTML documents.

Build procedure for Wincred credential helper has been updated.

wincred: align Makefile with other Makefiles in contrib
A recently added configuration variable and command line option
syntax ":(optional)" for values that are of filename type
inconsistently behaved on an empty file (configuration took it
happily, while the command line option pretended as if it did not
exist), which has been corrected.
* dk/parseopt-optional-filename-fixes:
parseopt: remove unreachable code
parseopt: restore const qualifier to parsed filename
config: use boolean type for a simple flag
parseopt: use boolean type for a simple flag
doc: clarify command equivalence comment
parseopt: fix :(optional) at command line to only ignore missing files
Messages from fast-import/export are now marked for i18n.
* cc/fast-import-export-i18n-cleanup:
gpg-interface: mark a string for translation
fast-import: mark strings for translation
fast-export: mark strings for translation
gpg-interface: use left shift to define GPG_VERIFY_*
gpg-interface: simplify ssh fingerprint parsing
Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining
htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in
different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed
directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML
documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same.
Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that
"git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the
correct directory.

When installing git-contacts with Meson via -Dcontrib=contacts, the default
Perl generation fails to mark it executable. As a result, "git contacts"
reports "'contacts' is not a git command."
Unlike generate-script.sh, we aren't testing the basename here; so, glob
the script name in the case arm to match wherever the input comes from.

* Replace $(LOADLIBES) because it is deprecated since long and it is
used nowhere else in the git project.
* Use $(gitexecdir) instead of $(libexecdir) because config.mak defines
$(libexecdir) as $(prefix)/libexec, not as $(prefix)/libexec/git-core.
* Similar to other Makefiles, let install target rule create
$(gitexecdir) to make sure the directory exists before copying the
executable and also let it respect $(DESTDIR).
* Shuffle the lines for the default settings to align them with the
other Makefiles in contrib/credential.
* Define .PHONY for all special targets (all, install, clean).

At this point in the code after running skip_prefix() on the
variable and receiving the result in the same variable, the contents
of the variable can never be NULL. The function either (1) updates
the variable to point at a later part of the string it originally
pointed at, or (2) leaves it intact if the string does not have the
prefix. (1) will never make the variable NULL, and (2) cannot be
the source of NULL, because the variable cannot be NULL before
calling skip_prefix(), which would die immediately by dereferencing
the NULL pointer in that case.

This was unintentionally dropped in ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values of

Unlike the configuration option magic, the parseopt code also ignores
empty files: compare implementations from ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values
of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) and
749d6d166d (config: values of pathname type can be prefixed with
:(optional), 2025-09-28).
Unify the 2 by not ignoring empty files, which is less surprising and
the intended semantics from the first patch for config.

Previous commits have marked a number of error or warning messages in
"builtin/fast-export.c" and "builtin/fast-import.c" for translation.
As "gpg-interface.c" code is used by the fast-export and fast-import
code, we should make sure that error or warning messages are also all
marked for translation in "gpg-interface.c".
To ensure that, let's mark for translation an error message in a
die() function.
With this, all the error and warning messages emitted by fast-export
and fast-import can be properly translated.
