bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions
Newer compiler versions, like GCC 10 and Clang 12, have built-in
functions for bswap32 and bswap64. This comes in handy, for example,
when targeting CLANGARM64 on Windows, which would not be supported
without this logic.

fetch: fix following tags when fetching specific OID
In 3f763ddf28 (fetch: set remote/HEAD if it does not exist, 2024-11-22),
unconditionally adds "HEAD" to the list of ref prefixes we send to the
server.
This breaks a core assumption that the list of prefixes we send to the
server is complete. We must either send all prefixes we care about, or
none at all (in the latter case the server then advertises everything).
The tag following code is careful to only add "refs/tags/" to the list
of prefixes if there are already entries in the prefix list. But because
the new code from 3f763ddf28 runs after the tag code, and because it
unconditionally adds to the prefix list, we may end up with a prefix
list that _should_ have "refs/tags/" in it, but doesn't.
When that is the case, the server does not advertise any tags, and our
auto-following breaks because we never learned about any tags in the
first place.
Fix this by only adding "HEAD" to the ref prefixes when we know that we
are already limiting the advertisement. In either case we'll learn about
HEAD (either through the limited advertisement, or implicitly through a
full advertisement).

help: print zlib-ng version number
When building against zlib-ng, the header file `zlib.h` is not included,
but `zlib-ng.h` is included instead. It's `zlib.h` that defines
`ZLIB_VERSION` and that macro is used to print out zlib version in
`git-version(1)` with `--build-options`. But when it's not defined, no
version is printed.
`zlib-ng.h` defines another macro: `ZLIBNG_VERSION`. Use that macro to
print the zlib-ng version in `git version --build-options` when it's
set. Otherwise fallback to `ZLIB_VERSION`.

In 41f1a8435a (git-compat-util: move include of "compat/zlib.h" into

This removed `zlib.h` being indirectly included in `help.c`. As this
file uses `ZLIB_VERSION` to print the version number of zlib when
running git-version(1) with `--build-options`, this resulted in a

Include `git-zlib.h` directly into `help.c` to print zlib version

In 904339edbd80 (Introduce support for the Meson build system,
2024-12-06) the `meson.build` file was introduced, adding also a
Windows-specific list of source files. This list was obviously meant to
be sorted alphabetically, but there is one mistake. Let's fix that.

In 590e081dea7c (ident: add NO_GECOS_IN_PWENT for systems without
pw_gecos in struct passwd, 2011-05-19), code was introduced to iterate
over the `gw_gecos` field; The loop variable is of type `char *`, which
assumes that `gw_gecos` is writable.
However, it is not necessarily writable (and it is a bad idea to have it
writable in the first place), so let's switch the loop variable type to
`const char *`.
This is not a new problem, but what is new is the Meson build. While it
does not trigger in CI builds, imitating the commands of
`ci/run-build-and-tests.sh` in a regular Git for Windows SDK (`meson
setup build . --fatal-meson-warnings --warnlevel 2 --werror --wrap-mode
nofallback -Dfuzzers=true` followed by `meson compile -C build --`
results in this beautiful error:
"cc" [...] -o libgit.a.p/ident.c.obj "-c" ../ident.c
../ident.c: In function 'copy_gecos':
../ident.c:68:18: error: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
68 | for (src = get_gecos(w); *src && *src != ','; src++) {
| ^
cc1.exe: all warnings being treated as errors
Now, why does this not trigger in CI? The answer is as simple as it is
puzzling: The `win+Meson` job completely side-steps Git for Windows'
development environment, opting instead to use the GCC that is on the
`PATH` in GitHub-hosted `windows-latest` runners. That GCC is pinned to
v12.2.0 and targets the UCRT (unlikely to change any time soon, see
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/win25/20250303.1/images/windows/toolsets/toolset-2022.json#L132-L141).
That is in stark contrast to Git for Windows, which uses GCC v14.2.0 and
targets MSVCRT. Git for Windows' `Makefile`-based build also obviously
uses different compiler flags, otherwise this compile error would have
had plenty of opportunity in almost 14 years to surface.
In other words, contrary to my expectations, the `win+Meson` job is
ill-equipped to replace the `win build` job because it exercises a
completely different tool version/compiler flags vector than what Git
for Windows needs.
Nevertheless, there is currently this huge push, including breaking
changes after -rc1 and all, for switching to Meson. Therefore, we need
to make it work, somehow, even in Git for Windows' SDK, hence this
patch, at this point in time.

docs: fix repository-layout when building with breaking changes
Since commit 8ccc75c2452 (remote: announce removal of "branches/" and
"remotes/", 2025-01-22) enabling WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES when building git
removes support for reading branches from ".git/branches" and remotes
from ".git/remotes". However those locations are still documented in
gitrepository-layout.adoc even though the build does not support them.
Rectify this by adding a new document attribute "with-breaking-changes"
and use it to make the inclusion of those sections of the documentation
conditional. Note that the name of the attribute does not match the test
prerequisite WITHOUT_BREAKING_CHANGES added in c5bc9a7f94a (Makefile:
wire up build option for deprecated features, 2025-01-22). This is to
avoid the awkward double negative ifndef::without_breaking_changes for
documentation that should be included when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is
enabled. The test prerequisite will be renamed to match the
documentation attribute in a future patch series.
