The Bloom filter used for path limited history traversal was broken
on systems whose "char" is unsigned; update the implementation and
bump the format version to 2.

commit-graph: reuse existing Bloom filters where possible
object.h: fix mis-aligned flag bits table
commit-graph: new Bloom filter version that fixes murmur3
commit-graph: unconditionally load Bloom filters

revision.c: consult Bloom filters for root commits
t/t4216-log-bloom.sh: harden `test_bloom_filters_not_used()`
The murmur3 implementation in bloom.c has a bug when converting series
of 4 bytes into network-order integers when char is signed (which is
controllable by a compiler option, and the default signedness of char is
platform-specific). When a string contains characters with the high bit
set, this bug causes results that, although internally consistent within
Git, does not accord with other implementations of murmur3 (thus,
the changed path filters wouldn't be readable by other off-the-shelf
implementatios of murmur3) and even with Git binaries that were compiled
with different signedness of char. This bug affects both how Git writes
changed path filters to disk and how Git interprets changed path filters
on disk.
Therefore, introduce a new version (2) of changed path filters that
corrects this problem. The existing version (1) is still supported and
is still the default, but users should migrate away from it as soon
as possible.
Because this bug only manifests with characters that have the high bit
set, it may be possible that some (or all) commits in a given repo would
have the same changed path filter both before and after this fix is
applied. However, in order to determine whether this is the case, the
changed paths would first have to be computed, at which point it is not
much more expensive to just compute a new changed path filter.
So this patch does not include any mechanism to "salvage" changed path
filters from repositories. There is also no "mixed" mode - for each
invocation of Git, reading and writing changed path filters are done
with the same version number; this version number may be explicitly
stated (typically if the user knows which version they need) or
automatically determined from the version of the existing changed path
filters in the repository.
There is a change in write_commit_graph(). graph_read_bloom_data()
makes it possible for chunk_bloom_data to be non-NULL but
bloom_filter_settings to be NULL, which causes a segfault later on. I
produced such a segfault while developing this patch, but couldn't find
a way to reproduce it neither after this complete patch (or before),
but in any case it seemed like a good thing to include that might help
future patch authors.
The value in t0095 was obtained from another murmur3 implementation
using the following Go source code:
package main
import "fmt"
import "github.com/spaolacci/murmur3"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("%x\n", murmur3.Sum32([]byte("Hello world!")))
fmt.Printf("%x\n", murmur3.Sum32([]byte{0x99, 0xaa, 0xbb, 0xcc, 0xdd, 0xee, 0xff}))
}

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

We're setting up the Git directory twice in the `test-tool bloom`
helper, once at the beginning of `cmd_bloom()` and once in the local
subcommand implementation `get_bloom_filter_for_commit()`. This can lead
to memory leaks as we'll overwrite variables of `the_repository` with
newly allocated data structures. On top of that it's simply unnecessary.
Fix this by only setting up the Git directory once.

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was
brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously
implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be
more explicit about what they depend upon.

Things should be able to depend on object.h without pulling in all of
cache.h. Move an enum to allow this.
Note that a couple files previously depended on things brought in
through cache.h indirectly (revision.h -> commit.h -> object.h ->
cache.h). As such, this change requires making existing dependencies
more explicit in half a dozen files. The inclusion of strbuf.h in
some headers if of particular note: these headers directly embedded a
strbuf in some new structs, meaning they should have been including
strbuf.h all along but were indirectly getting the necessary
definitions.

"git commit-graph write" learned to limit the number of bloom
filters that are computed from scratch with the --max-new-filters
option.
* tb/bloom-improvements:
commit-graph: introduce 'commitGraph.maxNewFilters'
builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>'
commit-graph: rename 'split_commit_graph_opts'
bloom: encode out-of-bounds filters as non-empty
bloom/diff: properly short-circuit on max_changes
bloom: use provided 'struct bloom_filter_settings'
bloom: split 'get_bloom_filter()' in two
commit-graph.c: store maximum changed paths
commit-graph: respect 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths'
t/helper/test-read-graph.c: prepare repo settings
commit-graph: pass a 'struct repository *' in more places
t4216: use an '&&'-chain
commit-graph: introduce 'get_bloom_filter_settings()'
When 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()' needs to compute a Bloom filter
from scratch, it looks to the default 'struct bloom_filter_settings' in
order to determine the maximum number of changed paths, number of bits
per entry, and so on.
All of these values have so far been constant, and so there was no need
to pass in a pointer from the caller (eg., the one that is stored in the
'struct write_commit_graph_context').
Start passing in a 'struct bloom_filter_settings *' instead of using the
default values to respect graph-specific settings (eg., in the case of
setting 'GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS').
In order to have an initialized value for these settings, move its
initialization to earlier in the commit-graph write.

'get_bloom_filter' takes a flag to control whether it will compute a
Bloom filter if the requested one is missing. In the next patch, we'll
add yet another parameter to this method, which would force all but one
caller to specify an extra 'NULL' parameter at the end.
Instead of doing this, split 'get_bloom_filter' into two functions:
'get_bloom_filter' and 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter'. The former only
looks up a Bloom filter (and does not compute one if it's missing,
thus dropping the 'compute_if_not_present' flag). The latter does
compute missing Bloom filters, with an additional parameter to store
whether or not it needed to do so.
This simplifies many call-sites, since the majority of existing callers
to 'get_bloom_filter' do not want missing Bloom filters to be computed
(so they can drop the parameter entirely and use the simpler version of
the function).
While we're at it, instrument the new 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()'
with counters in the 'write_commit_graph_context' struct which store
the number of filters that we did and didn't compute, as well as filters
that were truncated.
It would be nice to drop the 'compute_if_not_present' flag entirely,
since all remaining callers of 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter' pass it as
'1', but this will change in a future patch and hence cannot be removed.

The bloom filter code relies on reading object IDs using parse_oid_hex.
In order to make that work with an appropriate size, we need to have
initialized the repository's hash algorithm. Since the values we're
processing depend on the repository in use, let's set up the repository
when we run the test helper.

Add logic to
a) parse Bloom filter information from the commit graph file and,
b) re-use existing Bloom filters.
See Documentation/technical/commit-graph-format for the format in which
the Bloom filter information is written to the commit graph file.
To read Bloom filter for a given commit with lexicographic position
'i' we need to:
1. Read BIDX[i] which essentially gives us the starting index in BDAT for
filter of commit i+1. It is essentially the index past the end
of the filter of commit i. It is called end_index in the code.
2. For i>0, read BIDX[i-1] which will give us the starting index in BDAT
for filter of commit i. It is called the start_index in the code.
For the first commit, where i = 0, Bloom filter data starts at the
beginning, just past the header in the BDAT chunk. Hence, start_index
will be 0.
3. The length of the filter will be end_index - start_index, because
BIDX[i] gives the cumulative 8-byte words including the ith
commit's filter.
We toggle whether Bloom filters should be recomputed based on the
compute_if_not_present flag.

Add the core implementation for computing Bloom filters for
the paths changed between a commit and it's first parent.
We fill the Bloom filters as (const char *data, int len) pairs
as `struct bloom_filters" within a commit slab.
Filters for commits with no changes and more than 512 changes,
is represented with a filter of length zero. There is no gain
in distinguishing between a computed filter of length zero for
a commit with no changes, and an uncomputed filter for new commits
or for commits with more than 512 changes. The effect on
`git log -- path` is the same in both cases. We will fall back to
the normal diffing algorithm when we can't benefit from the
existence of Bloom filters.

Introduce the constructs for Bloom filters, Bloom filter keys
and Bloom filter settings.
For details on what Bloom filters are and how they work, refer
to Dr. Derrick Stolee's blog post [1]. It provides a concise
explanation of the adoption of Bloom filters as described in
[2] and [3].
Implementation specifics:
1. We currently use 7 and 10 for the number of hashes and the
size of each entry respectively. They served as great starting
values, the mathematical details behind this choice are
described in [1] and [4]. The implementation, while not
completely open to it at the moment, is flexible enough to allow
for tweaking these settings in the future.
Note: The performance gains we have observed with these values
are significant enough that we did not need to tweak these
settings. The performance numbers are included in the cover letter
of this series and in the commit message of the subsequent commit
where we use Bloom filters to speed up `git log -- path`.
2. As described in [1] and [3], we do not need 7 independent hashing
functions. We use the Murmur3 hashing scheme, seed it twice and
then combine those to procure an arbitrary number of hash values.
3. The filters will be sized according to the number of changes in
each commit, in multiples of 8 bit words.
