completion: add and use __git_compute_second_level_config_vars_for_section
In a previous commit we removed some hardcoded config variable names from

introducing a new function,
__git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section.
The remaining hardcoded config variables are "second level"
configuration variables, meaning 'branch.<name>.upstream',
'remote.<name>.url', etc. where <name> is a user-defined name.
Making use of the new existing --config flag to 'git help', add a new
function, __git_compute_second_level_config_vars_for_section. This
function takes as argument a config section name and computes the
corresponding second-level config variables, i.e. those that contain a
'<' which indicates the start of a placeholder. Note that as in
__git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section added previsouly, we
use indirect expansion instead of associative arrays to stay compatible
with Bash 3 on which macOS is stuck for licensing reasons.
As explained in the previous commit, we use the existing pattern in the
completion script of using global variables to cache the list of
variables for each section.
Use this new function and the variables it defines in
__git_complete_config_variable_name to remove hardcoded config

reftable/reader: add comments to `table_iter_next()`
While working on the optimizations in the preceding patches I stumbled
upon `table_iter_next()` multiple times. It is quite easy to miss the
fact that we don't call `table_iter_next_in_block()` twice, but that the
second call is in fact `table_iter_next_block()`.
Add comments to explain what exactly is going on here to make things
more obvious. While at it, touch up the code to conform to our code
style better.
Note that one of the refactorings merges two conditional blocks into
one. Before, we had the following code:
reftable/record: don't try to reallocate ref record name
When decoding reftable ref records we first release the pointer to the
record passed to us and then use realloc(3P) to allocate the refname
array. This is a bit misleading though as we know at that point that the
refname will always be `NULL`, so we would always end up allocating a
new char array anyway.
Refactor the code to use `REFTABLE_ALLOC_ARRAY()` instead. As the
following benchmark demonstrates this is a tiny bit more efficient. But
the bigger selling point really is the gained clarity.

When iterating towards the next record in a reftable block we need to
keep track of the key that the last record had. This is required because
reftable records use prefix compression, where subsequent records may
reuse parts of their preceding record's key.
This key is stored in the `block_iter::last_key`, which we update after
every call to `block_iter_next()`: we simply reset the buffer and then
add the current key to it.
This is a bit inefficient though because it requires us to copy over the
key on every iteration, which adds up when iterating over many records.
Instead, we can make use of the fact that the `block_iter::key` buffer
is basically only a scratch buffer. So instead of copying over contents,
we can just swap both buffers.

reftable/pq: allocation-less comparison of entry keys
The priority queue is used by the merged iterator to iterate over
reftable records from multiple tables in the correct order. The queue
ends up having one record for each table that is being iterated over,
with the record that is supposed to be shown next at the top. For
example, the key of a ref record is equal to its name so that we end up
sorting the priority queue lexicographically by ref name.
To figure out the order we need to compare the reftable record keys with
each other. This comparison is done by formatting them into a `struct
strbuf` and then doing `strbuf_strcmp()` on the result. We then discard
the buffers immediately after the comparison.
This ends up being very expensive. Because the priority queue usually
contains as many records as we have tables, we call the comparison
function `O(log($tablecount))` many times for every record we insert.
Furthermore, when iterating over many refs, we will insert at least one
record for every ref we are iterating over. So ultimately, this ends up
being called `O($refcount * log($tablecount))` many times.
Refactor the code to use the new `refatble_record_cmp()` function that
has been implemented in a preceding commit. This function does not need
to allocate memory and is thus significantly more efficient.
The following benchmark prints a single ref matching a specific pattern
out of 1 million refs via git-show-ref(1), where the reftable stack

reftable/merged: skip comparison for records of the same subiter
When retrieving the next entry of a merged iterator we need to drop all
records of other sub-iterators that would be shadowed by the record that
we are about to return. We do this by comparing record keys, dropping
all keys that are smaller or equal to the key of the record we are about
to return.
There is an edge case here where we can skip that comparison: when the
record in the priority queue comes from the same subiterator as the
record we are about to return then we know that its key must be larger
than the key of the record we are about to return. This property is
guaranteed by the sub-iterators, and if it didn't hold then the whole
merged iterator would return records in the wrong order, too.
While this may seem like a very specific edge case it's in fact quite
likely to happen. For most repositories out there you can assume that we
will end up with one large table and several smaller ones on top of it.
Thus, it is very likely that the next entry will sort towards the top of
the priority queue.
Special case this and break out of the loop in that case. The following
benchmark uses git-show-ref(1) to print a single ref matching a pattern
out of 1 million refs:

reftable/merged: allocation-less dropping of shadowed records
The purpose of the merged reftable iterator is to iterate through all
entries of a set of tables in the correct order. This is implemented by
using a sub-iterator for each table, where the next entry of each of
these iterators gets put into a priority queue. For each iteration, we
do roughly the following steps:
1. Retrieve the top record of the priority queue. This is the entry we
want to return to the caller.
2. Retrieve the next record of the sub-iterator that this record came
from. If any, add it to the priority queue at the correct position.
The position is determined by comparing the record keys, which e.g.
corresponds to the refname for ref records.
3. Keep removing the top record of the priority queue until we hit the
first entry whose key is larger than the returned record's key.
This is required to drop "shadowed" records.
The last step will lead to at least one comparison to the next entry,
but may lead to many comparisons in case the reftable stack consists of
many tables with shadowed records. It is thus part of the hot code path
when iterating through records.
The code to compare the entries with each other is quite inefficient
though. Instead of comparing record keys with each other directly, we
first format them into `struct strbuf`s and only then compare them with
each other. While we already optimized this code path to reuse buffers
in 829231dc20 (reftable/merged: reuse buffer to compute record keys,
2023-12-11), the cost to format the keys into the buffers still adds up
quite significantly.
Refactor the code to use `reftable_record_cmp()` instead, which has been
introduced in the preceding commit. This function compares records with
each other directly without requiring any memory allocations or copying
and is thus way more efficient.
The following benchmark uses git-show-ref(1) to print a single ref
matching a pattern out of 1 million refs. This is the most direct way to
exercise ref iteration speed as we remove all overhead of having to show
the refs, too.
Benchmark 1: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~)

reftable/record: introduce function to compare records by key

cycles, both due to the allocation and formatting logic.
Introduce a new `reftable_record_cmp()` function that knows how to

ref-filter.c: sort formatted dates by byte value
Update the ref sorting functions of 'ref-filter.c' so that when date fields
are specified with a format string (such as in 'git for-each-ref
--sort=creatordate:<something>'), they are sorted by their formatted string
value rather than by the underlying numeric timestamp. Currently, date
fields are always sorted by timestamp, regardless of whether formatting
information is included in the '--sort' key.
Leaving the default (unformatted) date sorting unchanged, sorting by the
formatted date string adds some flexibility to 'for-each-ref' by allowing
for behavior like "sort by year, then by refname within each year" or "sort
by time of day". Because the inclusion of a format string previously had no
effect on sort behavior, this change likely will not affect existing usage
of 'for-each-ref' or other ref listing commands.
Additionally, update documentation & tests to document the new sorting
mechanism.

ssh signing: signal an error with a negative return value
The other backend for the sign_buffer() function followed our usual
"an error is signalled with a negative return" convention, but the
SSH signer did not. Even though we already fixed the caller that
assumed only a negative return value is an error, tighten the callee
to signal an error with a negative return as well. This way, the
callees will be strict on what they produce, while the callers will
be lenient in what they accept.
When copying a ref with the reftable backend we also copy the
corresponding log records. When seeking the first log record that we're
about to copy fails though we directly return from `write_copy_table()`
without doing any cleanup, leaking several allocated data structures.
Fix this by exiting via our common cleanup logic instead.

tag: fix sign_buffer() call to create a signed tag
The command "git tag -s" internally calls sign_buffer() to make a
cryptographic signature using the chosen backend like GPG and SSH.
The internal helper functions used by "git tag" implementation seem
to use a "negative return values are errors, zero or positive return
values are not" convention, and there are places (e.g., verify_tag()
that calls gpg_verify_tag()) that these internal helper functions
translate return values that signal errors to conform to this
convention, but do_sign() that calls sign_buffer() forgets to do so.
Fix it, so that a failed call to sign_buffer() that can return the
exit status from pipe_command() will not be overlooked.

"git show-ref --verify" is useful for scripts that want to look up a

only accept "HEAD" or a refname beginning with "refs/". Running
git show-ref --verify CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
will always result in
fatal: 'CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' - not a valid ref
even when CHERRY_PICK_HEAD exists. By calling refname_is_safe() instead
of comparing the refname to "HEAD" we can accept all one-level refs that
contain only uppercase ascii letters and underscores.
