gitk: use $config_variables as list for save/restore
gitk includes many user defined configuration variables, has all of
these are listed in $config_variables. But this list is not used to
define the variables to be loaded, saved, or restored when cancelling
the configuration dialog, and developers must maintain separate lists of
variables for these purposes. This leads to unnecessary errors and merge

make maintenance easier.
While we are on topic, sort the list of names in $config_variables.
This makes it simpler to scan and has fewer chances of conflicts
when new names are introduced.

While "exec" uses a normal arguments list which is applied as
command + arguments (and redirections, etc), "open" uses a single
argument which is this command+arguments, where the command and
arguments are a list inside this one argument to "open".
Commit bb5cb23 (gitk: prevent overly long command lines 2023-05-08)
changed several values from individual arguments in that list (hashes
and file names), to a single value which is fed to git via redirection
to its stdin using "open" [1].
However, it didn't ensure correctly that this aggregate value in this
string is interpreted as a single element in this command+args list.
It did just enough so that newlines (which is how these elements are
concatenated) don't split this single list element.
A followup commit at the same patchset: 7dd272e (gitk: escape file
paths before piping to git log 2023-05-08) added a bit more, by
escaping backslahes and spaces at the file names, so that at least
it doesn't break when such file names get used there.
But these are not enough. At the very least tab is missing, and more,
and trying to manually escape every possible thing which can affect
how this string is interpreted in a list is a sub-par approach.
The solution is simply to tell tcl "this is a single list element".
which we can do by aggregating this value completely normally (hashes
and files separated by newlines), and then do [list $value].
So this is what this commit does, for all 3 places where bb5cb23
changed individual elements into an aggregate value.
[1]
That was not a fully accurate description. The accurate version
is that this string originally included two lists: hashes and files.
When used with "open" these lists correctly become the individual
elements of these lists, even if they contain spaces etc, so the
arguments which were used at this "git" commands were correct.
Commit bb5cb23 couldn't use these two lists as-is, because it needed
to process the individual elements in them (one element per line of
the aggregate value), and the issue is that ensuring this aggregate
is indeed interpreted as a single list element was sub-par.
Note: all the (double) quotes before/after the modification are not
required and with zero effect, even for \n. But this commit preserves
the original quoting form intentionally. It can be cleaned up later.

gitk: override $PATH search only on Windows
Commit 4cbe9e0e2 was written to address problems that result from Tcl's
documented behavior on Windows where the current working directory and a
number of Windows system directories are automatically prepended to
$PATH when searching for executables [1]. This basic Windows behavior
has resulted in more than one CVE against git for Windows:
CVE-2023-23618, CVE-2022-41953 are listed on the git for Windows github
website for the Tcl components of git (gitk, git-gui).
4cbe9e0e2 is intended to restrict the search to looking only in
directories given in $PATH and in the given order, which is exactly the
Tcl behavior documented to exist on non-Windows platforms [1]. Thus,
this change could have been written to affect only Windows, leaving
other platforms alone.
However, 4cbe9e0e2 implements the override for all platforms. This
includes specialized code for Cygwin, copied from git-gui prior to
commit 7145c654 on https://github.com/j6t/git-gui, so targets a
long retired Cygwin port of the Windows Tcl/Tk using Windows pathnames.
Since 2012, Cygwin uses a Unix/X11 port requiring Unix pathnames,
meaning 4cbe9e0e2 is incompatible. 4cbe9e0e2 also induces an infinite
recursion as _which now invokes the exec wrapper that invokes _which.
This is part of git v2.49.0, so gitk on Cygwin is broken in that
release.
Rather than fix the unnecessary override code for Cygwin, let's just
limit the override of exec/open to Windows, leaving all other platforms
using their native exec/open as they did prior to 4cbe9e0e2. This patch
wraps the override code in an "if {[is_Windows]} { ... }" block while
removing the non-Windows code added in 4cbe9e0e2.

Note that the many `exec git` calls are unaffected, due to an obscure
quirk in Tcl's `exec` function. Typically, `git.exe` lives next to
`wish.exe` (i.e. the program that is run to execute `gitk` or Git GUI)
in Git for Windows, and that is the saving grace for `git.exe because
`exec` searches the directory where `wish.exe` lives even before the
current directory, according to
https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl/TclCmd/exec.htm#M24:
If a directory name was not specified as part of the application

Tl;DR: change Auto-select text, move the length input to a new line.
The Auto-select preference auto-selects [part of] the commit ID text
at the respective widget on startup, and when the current commit at
the graph changes.
Its real premise, however, is to populate the selection clipboard
with the commit ID. Consider, for instance, how meaningless it is on
platforms without a selection clipboard - like Windows or macOS (on
Windows the selection is not even visible with the default Tk theme,
because it's only visible in focused widgets - which the commit ID
widget is not during normal application of this selection).
So rename the Auto-select label to "Copy commit ID to X11 selection",
to reflect better the ultimate outcome of its application
Note that there exists other, non-X11 platforms with a selection
clipboard, like Wayland, and if a native Tk client exists on such
platforms, then the description will not be accurate, but hopefully
it's not too misleading either.
Additionally, move the length input widget to a new line, because:
- This length applies to both Auto-select and "Copy commit reference"
context menu item, so it's not exclusive to the selection length.
- The next commit will add support for primary clipboard as well,
where this length will also be used.
Also, move the "Hide remotes" item above these selection prefs, to

gitk: escape file paths before piping to git log
We just started piping the file paths via `stdin` instead of passing
them via the command-line, to avoid running into command-line
limitations.
However, since we now pipe the file paths, we need to take care of
special characters.

To avoid running into command line limitations, some of Git's commands
support the `--stdin` option.
Let's use exactly this option in the three rev-list/log invocations in
gitk that would otherwise possibly run the danger of trying to invoke a
too-long command line.
While it is easy to redirect either stdin or stdout in Tcl/Tk scripts,
what we need here is both. We need to capture the output, yet we also
need to pipe in the revs/files arguments via stdin (because stdin does
not have any limit, unlike the command line). To help this, we use the
neat Tcl feature where you can capture stdout and at the same time feed
a fixed string as stdin to the spawned process.
One non-obvious aspect about this change is that the `--stdin` option
allows to specify revs, the double-dash, and files, but *no* other
options such as `--not`. This is addressed by prefixing the "negative"
revs with `^` explicitly rather than relying on the `--not` option
(thanks for coming up with that idea, Max!).

gitk: include y coord in recorded sash position
6cd80496e9 ("gitk: Resize panes correctly when reducing window size",
2020-10-03) introduces a mechanism to record previously-set sash
positions to make sure that correct values are used while computing
resize proportions. However, if we are not using ttk, then sash
represents only the x coordinate and the recorded sash (`oldsash`) only
includes the x coordinate. When we need to access the y coordinate via
the recorded sash position, we generate the following Application Error
popup:
Error: expected integer but got ""

gitk: Resize panes correctly when reducing window size
The resizeclistpanes and resizecdetpanes procedures attempt to keep
the horizontal proportions of the panes of the gitk window
approximately constant when the gitk window is resized. However, if
the size is reduced enough that an existing sash position would go
outside the window, Tk moves the sash to the left to keep it inside
the window (without moving other sash positions to keep the
proportions). This happens before these resize procedures get
control, and so they work with incorrect proportions.
To fix this, we record the sash positions we set previously and use
those previously-set sash positions rather than the current sash
positions when computing the proportions.

gitk: fix the context menu not appearing in the presence of submodule diffs
Currently, submodule diffs can cause the diff context menu to fail
to appear because of a couple bugs in parseblobdiffline:
* it appends the submodule name to ctext_file_lines instead of
a line number, which breaks the binary search in find_ctext_fileinfo;
* it can desynchronize ctext_file_names and ctext_file_lines
by appending to the former but not the latter, which also breaks
find_ctext_fileinfo.
Fix both of these.
Note: a side effect of this patch is that the context menu also
starts appearing when you right-click on submodule diffs (and not just
regular diffs). The menu is non-functional in this case, though,
since you can't run blame on submodules.

gitk: be prepared to be run in a bare repository
784b7e2f ("gitk: Fix "External diff" with separate work tree",
2011-04-04) added an unconditional call to "git rev-parse
--show-toplevel" to set up a global variable quite early in the
course of the program, so that the location of the working tree can
later be known if/when the user chooses to run the external diff via
the external_diff_get_one_file proc. Before that change, the
external diff code used to assume that the parent directory of ".git"
directory is the top-level of the working tree.
Recent versions of git however notices that "rev-parse --show-toplevel"
executed in a bare repository is an error, which makes gitk stop,
even before the user could attempt to run external diff.
Use the gitworktree helper introduced in 65bb0bda ("gitk: Fix the
display of files when filtered by path", 2011-12-13), which is
prepared to see failures from "rev-parse --show-toplevel" and other
means it tries to find the top-level of the working tree instead to
work around this issue. The resulting value in $worktree global,
when run in a bare repository, is bogus, but the code is not
prepared to run external diff correctly without a working tree
anyway ;-)

gitk: don't highlight files after submodules as submodules
gitk applies submodule highlighting (coloring lines starting with
" >" and " <") when `currdiffsubmod` is not an empty string.
However, it fails to reset `currdiffsubmod` after a submodule diff
ends, so any file diffs following a submodule diff will still be
highlighted as if they were submodule diffs.
There are two problems with the way gitk tries to reset `currdiffsubmod`:
1. The code says `set $currdiffsubmod` instead of `set currdiffsubmod`,
so it actually sets the variable whose name is the submodule path
instead.
2. It tries to do it after the first line in a submodule diff, which
is incorrect, since submodule diffs can contain multiple lines.
Fix this by resetting `currdiffsubmod` when a file diff starts.

The diff text widget is read-only, so there's zero point in

Memory usage of the whole program for viewing a reference commit
before; 579'692'744 bytes, after: 32'724'446 bytes.
Test procedure:
- Choose a largish commit and check it out. In this case one with
90'802 lines, 5'006'902 bytes.
- Have a Tcl version with memory debugging enabled. This is,
build one with --enable-symbols=mem passed to configure.
- Instrument Gitk to regularly show a memory dump. E.g. by adding
these code lines at the very bottom:
- Start Gitk, it'll load this largish commit into the diff text
field automatically (because it's the current commit).
- Wait until memory consumption levels out and note the numbers.
Note that the numbers reported by [memory info] are much smaller
than the ones reported in 'top' (1.75 GB vs. 105 MB in this case),
likely due to all the instrumentation coming with the debug
version of Tcl.

When -S or -G is used as a filter option, the resulting commit list

"git log --boundary -S" does not return as many boundary commits as you

parent (boundary) commits. However, it does not change $numcommits,
which limits how many commits are shown. In the end, some commits at the
