Previous commits have set up an infrastructure for `--filter=auto` to
automatically prepare a partial clone filter based on what the server
advertised and the client accepted.
Using that infrastructure, let's now enable the `--filter=auto` option
in `git clone` and `git fetch` by setting `allow_auto_filter` to 1.
Note that these small changes mean that when `git clone --filter=auto`
or `git fetch --filter=auto` are used, "auto" is automatically saved
as the partial clone filter for the server on the client. Therefore
subsequent calls to `git fetch` on the client will automatically use
this "auto" mode even without `--filter=auto`.
Let's also set `allow_auto_filter` to 1 in `transport.c`, as the
transport layer must be able to accept the "auto" filter spec even if
the invoking command hasn't fully parsed it yet.
When an "auto" filter is requested, let's have the "fetch-pack.c" code
in `do_fetch_pack_v2()` compute a filter and send it to the server.
In `do_fetch_pack_v2()` the logic also needs to check for the
"promisor-remote" capability and call `promisor_remote_reply()` to
parse advertised remotes and populate the list of those accepted (and
their filters).

The `promisor_remote_reply()` function performs two tasks:
1. It uses filter_promisor_remote() to parse the server's
"promisor-remote" advertisement and to mark accepted remotes in the
repository configuration.
2. It assembles a reply string containing the accepted remote names to
send back to the server.
In a following commit, the fetch-pack logic will need to trigger the
side effect (1) to ensure the repository state is correct, but it will
not need to send a reply (2).
To avoid assembling a reply string when it is not needed, let's change
the signature of promisor_remote_reply(). It will now return `void` and
accept a second `char **accepted_out` argument. Only if that argument
is not NULL will a reply string be assembled and returned back to the
caller via that argument.

Currently, advertised filters are only kept in memory temporarily
during parsing, or persisted to disk if `promisor.storeFields`
contains 'partialCloneFilter'.
In a following commit though, we will add a `--filter=auto` option.
This option will enable the client to use the filters that the server
is suggesting for the promisor remotes the client accepts.
To use them even if `promisor.storeFields` is not configured, these
filters should be stored somewhere for the current session.
Let's add an `advertised_filter` field to `struct promisor_remote`
for that purpose.
To ensure that the filters are available in all cases,
filter_promisor_remote() captures them into a temporary list and
applies them to the `promisor_remote` structs after the potential
configuration reload.
Then the accepted remotes are marked as `accepted` in the repository
state. This ensures that subsequent calls to look up accepted remotes
(like in the filter construction below) actually find them.
In a following commit, we will add a `--filter=auto` option that will
enable a client to use the filters suggested by the server for the
promisor remotes the client accepted.
To enable the client to construct a filter spec based on these filters,
let's also add a `promisor_remote_construct_filter(repo)` function.
This function:
- iterates over all accepted promisor remotes in the repository,
- collects the filters advertised for them (using `advertised_filter`
added in this commit, and
- generates a single filter spec for them.

In a following commit, we are going to allow passing "auto" as a
<filterspec> to the `--filter=<filterspec>` option, but only for some
commands. Other commands that support the `--filter=<filterspec>`
option should still die() when 'auto' is passed.
Let's set up the "list-objects-filter-options.{c,h}" infrastructure to
support that:
- Add a new `unsigned int allow_auto_filter : 1;` flag to
`struct list_objects_filter_options` which specifies if "auto" is
accepted or not by the current command.
- Change gently_parse_list_objects_filter() to parse "auto" if it's
accepted.
- Make sure we die() if "auto" is combined with another filter.
- Update list_objects_filter_release() to preserve the
allow_auto_filter flag, as this function is often called (via
opt_parse_list_objects_filter) to reset the struct before parsing a
new value.
Let's also update `list-objects-filter.c` to recognize the new
`LOFC_AUTO` choice. Since "auto" must be resolved to a concrete filter
before filtering actually begins, initializing a filter with
`LOFC_AUTO` is invalid and will trigger a BUG().
Note that ideally combining "auto" with "auto" could be allowed, but in
practice, it's probably not worth the added code complexity. And if we
really want it, nothing prevents us to allow it in future work.
If we ever want to give a meaning to combining "auto" with a different
filter too, nothing prevents us to do that in future work either.
Also note that the new `allow_auto_filter` flag depends on the command,
not user choices, so it should be reset to the command default when
`struct list_objects_filter_options` instances are reset.
While at it, let's add a new "u-list-objects-filter-options.c" file for
`struct list_objects_filter_options` related unit tests. For now it
only tests gently_parse_list_objects_filter() though.

The `struct list_objects_filter_options filter_options` variable used
in "builtin/fetch.c" to store the parsed filters specified by
`--filter=<filterspec>` is currently a static variable global to the
file.
As we are going to use it more in a following commit, it could become a
bit less easy to understand how it's managed.
To avoid that, let's make it clear that it's owned by cmd_fetch() by
moving its definition into that function and making it non-static.
This requires passing a pointer to it through the prepare_transport(),
do_fetch(), backfill_tags(), fetch_one_setup_partial(), and fetch_one()
functions, but it's quite straightforward.

A previous commit allowed a server to pass additional fields through
the "promisor-remote" protocol capability after the "name" and "url"
fields, specifically the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" fields.
Another previous commit, c213820c51 (promisor-remote: allow a client
to check fields, 2025-09-08), has made it possible for a client to
decide if it accepts a promisor remote advertised by a server based
on these additional fields.
Often though, it would be interesting for the client to just store in
its configuration files these additional fields passed by the server,
so that it can use them when needed.
For example if a token is necessary to access a promisor remote, that
token could be updated frequently only on the server side and then
passed to all the clients through the "promisor-remote" capability,
avoiding the need to update it on all the clients manually.
Storing the token on the client side makes sure that the token is
available when the client needs to access the promisor remotes for a
lazy fetch.
To allow this, let's introduce a new "promisor.storeFields"
configuration variable.
Note that for a partial clone filter, it's less interesting to have
it stored on the client. This is because a filter should be used
right away and we already pass a `--filter=<filter-spec>` option to
`git clone` when starting a partial clone. Storing the filter could
perhaps still be interesting for information purposes.
Like "promisor.checkFields" and "promisor.sendFields", the new
configuration variable should contain a comma or space separated list
of field names. Only the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" field names
are supported for now.
When a server advertises a promisor remote, for example "foo", along
with for example "token=XXXXX" to a client, and on the client side
"promisor.storeFields" contains "token", then the client will store
XXXXX for the "remote.foo.token" variable in its configuration file
and reload its configuration so it can immediately use this new
configuration variable.
A message is emitted on stderr to warn users when the config is
changed.
Note that even if "promisor.acceptFromServer" is set to "all", a
promisor remote has to be already configured on the client side for
some of its config to be changed. In any case no new remote is
configured and no new URL is stored.

Add a new test script t0213-trace2-ancestry.sh that verifies

The tests use the "400ancestry" test helper to spawn child processes
with controlled trace2 environments. Git alias resolution (which
spawns a child git process) creates a predictable multi-level process
tree. Filter functions extract cmd_ancestry events from each format,
truncating the ancestor list at the outermost "test-tool" so that only
the controlled portion of the tree is verified, regardless of the test
runner environment.
A runtime prerequisite (TRACE2_ANCESTRY) is used to detect whether the
platform has a real procinfo implementation; platforms with only the
stub are skipped.
We must pay attention to an extra ancestor on Windows (MINGW) when
running without the bin-wrappers (such as we do in CI). In this
situation we see an extra "sh.exe" ancestor after "test-tool.exe".

ancestry testing now has its own dedicated test script.
