Introduce libgit-sys, a Rust wrapper crate that allows Rust code to call functions in libgit.a. This initial patch defines build rules and an interface that exposes user agent string getter functions as a proof of concept. This library can be tested with `cargo test`. In later commits, a higher-level library containing a more Rust-friendly interface will be added at `contrib/libgit-rs`. Symbols in libgit can collide with symbols from other libraries such as libgit2. We avoid this by first exposing library symbols in public_symbol_export.[ch]. These symbols are prepended with "libgit_" to avoid collisions and set to visible using a visibility pragma. In build.rs, Rust builds contrib/libgit-rs/libgit-sys/libgitpub.a, which also contains libgit.a and other dependent libraries, with -fvisibility=hidden to hide all symbols within those libraries that haven't been exposed with a visibility pragma.
