Two documentation issues exist in the technical docs for the bundle URI
feature.
First, there is an extraneous "the" across a linebreak, making the
nonsensical phrase "the bundle the list" which should just be "the
bundle list".
Secondly, the asciidoc update treats the string "`have`s" as starting a
"<code>" block, but the second tick is interpreted as an apostrophe
instead of a closing "</code>" tag. This causes entire sentences to be
formatted as code until the next one comes along. Simply adding a space
here does not work properly as the rendered HTML keeps that space.
Instead, restructure the sentence slightly to avoid using a plural,
allowing the HTML to render correctly.

Since 131b94a10a (test-lib.sh: Use GLIBC_TUNABLES instead of
MALLOC_CHECK_ on glibc >= 2.34, 2022-03-04) compiling with
SANITIZE=leak has missed reporting some leaks. The old MALLOC_CHECK
method used before glibc 2.34 seems to have been (mostly?) compatible
with it, but after 131b94a10a e.g. running:
TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK=1 make SANITIZE=leak test T=t6437-submodule-merge.sh
Would report a leak in builtin/commit.c, but this would not:
TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK= make SANITIZE=leak test T=t6437-submodule-merge.sh
Since the interaction is clearly breaking the SANITIZE=leak mode,
let's mark them as explicitly incompatible.
A related regression for SANITIZE=address was fixed in
067109a5e7 (tests: make SANITIZE=address imply TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK,
2022-04-09).

The process for reading the index into memory from disk is to first read its
contents into a single memory-mapped file buffer (type 'char *'), then
sequentially convert each on-disk index entry into a corresponding incore
'cache_entry'. To access the contents of the on-disk entry for processing, a
moving pointer within the memory-mapped file is cast to type 'struct
ondisk_cache_entry *'.
In index v4, the entries in the on-disk index file are written *without*
aligning their first byte to a 4-byte boundary; entries are a variable
length (depending on the entry name and whether or not extended flags are
used). As a result, casting the 'char *' buffer pointer to 'struct
ondisk_cache_entry *' then accessing its contents in a 'SANITIZE=undefined'
build can trigger the following error:
read-cache.c:1886:46: runtime error: member access within misaligned
address <address> for type 'struct ondisk_cache_entry', which requires 4
byte alignment
Avoid this error by reading fields directly from the 'char *' buffer, using
the 'offsetof' individual fields in 'struct ondisk_cache_entry'.
Additionally, add documentation describing why the new approach avoids the
misaligned address error, as well as advice on how to improve the
implementation in the future.

In the previous commit, we fixed a segmentation fault when a tree object
could not be written.
However, before the tree object is written, `merge-ort` wants to write
out a blob object (except in cases where the merge results in a blob
that already exists in the database). And this can fail, too, but we
ignore that write failure so far.
Let's pay close attention and error out early if the blob could not be
written. This reduces the error output of t4301.25 ("merge-ort fails
gracefully in a read-only repository") from:
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
error: error: Unable to add numbers to database
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
error: error: Unable to add greeting to database
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
fatal: failure to merge
to:
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
error: error: Unable to add numbers to database
fatal: failure to merge
This is _not_ just a cosmetic change: Even though one might assume that
the operation would have failed anyway at the point when the new tree
object is written (and the corresponding tree object _will_ be new if it
contains a blob that is new), but that is not so: As pointed out by
Elijah Newren, when Git has previously been allowed to add loose objects
via `sudo` calls, it is very possible that the blob object cannot be
written (because the corresponding `.git/objects/??/` directory may be
owned by `root`) but the tree object can be written (because the
corresponding objects directory is owned by the current user). This
would result in a corrupt repository because it is missing the blob
object, and with this here patch we prevent that.
Note: This patch adjusts two variable declarations from `unsigned` to
`int` because their purpose is to hold the return value of
`handle_content_merge()`, which is of type `int`. The existing users of
those variables are only interested whether that variable is zero or
non-zero, therefore this type change does not affect the existing code.

If the blob/tree objects cannot be written, we really need the merge
operations to fail, and not to continue (and then try to access the tree
object which is however still set to `NULL`).
Let's stop ignoring the return value of `write_object_file()` and
`write_tree()` and set `clean = -1` in the error case.

The for_each_string_list_item() macro takes a string_list and
automatically constructs a for loop to iterate over its contents. This
macro will segfault if the list is non-NULL.
We cannot change the macro to be careful around NULL values because
there are many callers that use the address of a local variable, which
will never be NULL and will cause compile errors with -Werror=address.
For now, leave a documentation comment to try to avoid mistakes in the
future where a caller does not check for a NULL list.
