The previous commit introduced a workaround in utf8.c to deal
with broken iconv implementations.
It is enabled when a MacOS version is used that has a buggy
iconv library and there is no external library provided
(and linked against) from neither MacPorts nor Homebrew nor Fink.
For Homebrew, MacPorts and Fink we check if libiconv exist.
Introduce 2 new macros: HAS_GOOD_LIBICONV and NEEDS_GOOD_LIBICONV.
For Homebrew HAS_GOOD_LIBICONV is set when the libiconv directory
exist.
MacPorts can be installed with or without libiconv, so check if
libiconv.dylib exists (which is a softlink)
Fink compiles and installs libiconv by default.
Note that a fresh installation of Fink now defaults to /opt/sw.
Older versions used /sw as default, so leave the check and setting
of BASIC_CFLAGS and BASIC_LDFLAGS as is.
For the new default check for the existance of /opt/sw as well.
Add a check for /opt/sw/lib/libiconv.dylib which sets HAS_GOOD_LIBICONV

A bug report running the Git test suite says:

=================
compare_with runs git show to display a commit message, which in this
case here was encoded using ISO-2022-JP and is supposed to be reencoded
to UTF-8, but git show only does that half-way -- the "$0$j$m$X!#" part
is from the original ISO-2022-JP representation.
That botched conversion is done by utf8.c::reencode_string_iconv(). It
calls iconv(3) to do the actual work, initially with an output buffer of
the same size as the input. If the output needs more space the function
enlarges the buffer and calls iconv(3) again.
iconv(3) won't tell us how much space it needs, but it will report what
part it already managed to convert, so we can increase the buffer and
continue from there. ISO-2022-JP has escape codes for switching between
character sets, so it's a stateful encoding. I guess the iconv(3) on my
machine forgets the state at the end of part one and then messes up part
two.
[end of citation]
Working around the buggy iconv shipped with the OS can be done in
two ways:
a) Link Git against a different version of iconv
b) Improve the handling when iconv needs a larger output buffer
a) is already done by default when either Fink [1] or MacPorts [2]
or Homebrew [3] is installed.
b) is implemented here, in case that no fixed iconv is available:
When the output buffer is too short, increase it (as before)
and start from scratch (this is new).
This workound needs to be enabled with
'#define ICONV_RESTART_RESET'
and a makefile knob will be added in the next commit

The function `fsck_head_link()` was historically used to perform a
couple of consistency checks for refs. (Almost) all of these checks have
now been moved into the refs subsystem. There's only a single check
remaining that verifies whether `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` returns a
`NULL` pointer. This may happen in a couple of cases:
- When `refs_is_safe()` declares the ref to be unsafe. We already have
checks for this as we verify refnames with `check_refname_format()`.
- When the ref doesn't exist. A repository without "HEAD" is
completely broken though, and we would notice this error ahead of
time already.
- In case the caller passes `RESOLVE_REF_READING` and the ref is a
symref that doesn't resolve. We don't pass this flag though.
As such, this check doesn't cover anything anymore that isn't already
covered by `refs_fsck()`. Drop it, which also allows us to inline the
call to `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`.

While most of the logic that verifies the consistency of refs is
driven by `refs_fsck()`, we still have a small handful of checks in
`fsck_head_link()`. These checks don't use the git-fsck(1) reporting
infrastructure, and as such it's impossible to for example disable
some of those checks.
One such check detects refs that point to the all-zeroes object ID.
Extract this check into the generic `refs_fsck_ref()` function that is
used by both the "files" and "reftable" backends.
Note that this will cause us to not return an error code from
`fsck_head_link()` anymore in case this error was detected. This is fine
though: the only caller of this function does not check the error code
anyway. To demonstrate this, adapt the function to drop its return value
altogether. The function will be removed in a subsequent commit anyway.

In a preceding commit we have extracted generic checks for both direct
and symbolic refs that apply for all backends. Wire up those checks for
the "reftable" backend.
Note that this is done by iterating through all refs manually with the
low-level reftable ref iterator. We explicitly don't want to use the
higher-level iterator that is exposed to users of the reftable backend
as that iterator may swallow for example broken refs.

The ref consistency checks are driven via `cmd_refs_verify()`. That
function loops through all worktrees (including the main worktree) and
then checks the ref store for each of them individually. It follows that
the backend is expected to only verify refs that belong to the specified
worktree.
While the "files" backend handles this correctly, the "reftable" backend
doesn't. In fact, it completely ignores the passed worktree and instead
verifies refs of _all_ worktrees. The consequence is that we'll end up
every ref store N times, where N is the number of worktrees.
Or rather, that would be the case if we actually iterated through the
worktree reftable stacks correctly. But we use `strmap_for_each_entry()`
to iterate through the stacks, but the map is in fact not even properly
populated. So instead of checking stacks N^2 times, we actually only end
up checking the reftable stack of the main worktree.
Fix this bug by only verifying the stack of the passed-in worktree and
constructing the backends via `backend_for_worktree()`.

The consistency checks for the "files" backend contain a couple of
verifications for symrefs that verify generic properties of the target
reference. These properties need to hold for every backend, no matter
whether it's using the "files" or "reftable" backend.
Reimplementing these checks for every single backend doesn't really make
sense. Extract it into a generic `refs_fsck_symref()` function that can
be used by other backends, as well. The "reftable" backend will be wired
up in a subsequent commit.
While at it, improve the consistency checks so that we don't complain
about refs pointing to a non-ref target in case the target refname
format does not verify. Otherwise it's very likely that we'll generate
both error messages, which feels somewhat redundant in this case.
Note that the function has a couple of `UNUSED` parameters. These will
become referenced in a subsequent commit.

The error handling when verifying symbolic refs is a bit on the wild
side:
- `fsck_report_ref()` can be told to ignore specific errors. If an
error has been ignored and a previous check raised an unignored
error, then assigning `ret = fsck_report_ref()` will cause us to
swallow the previous error.
- When the target reference is not valid we bail out early without
checking for other errors.
Fix both of these issues by consistently or'ing the return value and not
bailing out early.

When checking the consistency of references we create a directory
iterator and then verify each single reference in a loop. The logic to
perform the actual checks is embedded into that loop, which makes it
hard to reuse. But In a subsequent commit we're about to introduce a

When iterating through root refs we first need to determine the
directory in which the refs live. This is done by retrieving the root of
the loose refs via `refs->loose->root->name`, and putting it through
`files_ref_path()` to derive the final path.
This is somewhat redundant though: the root name of the loose files
cache is always going to be the empty string. As such, we always end up
passing that empty string to `files_ref_path()` as the ref hierarchy we
want to start. And this actually makes sense: `files_ref_path()` already
computes the location of the root directory, so of course we need to
pass the empty string for the ref hierarchy itself. So going via the
loose ref cache to figure out that the root of a ref hierarchy is empty
is only causing confusion.
But next to the added confusion, it can also lead to a segfault. The
loose ref cache is populated lazily, so it may not always be set. It
seems to be sheer luck that this is a condition we do not currently hit.
The right thing to do would be to call `get_loose_ref_cache()`, which
knows to populate the cache if required.
Simplify the code and fix the potential segfault by simply removing the
indirection via the loose ref cache completely.

The not_found and forbidden methods currently do not write a newline to
stderr after the error message. This means that if git-http-backend is
invoked through something like fcgiwrap, and the stderr of that fcgiwrap
process is sent to a logging daemon (e.g. journald), the error messages
of several git-http-backend invocations will just get strung together,
e.g.
> Not a git repository: '/var/lib/git/foo.git'Not a git repository: '/var/lib/git/foo.git'Not a git repository: '/var/lib/git/foo.git'
I think it's git-http-backend's responsibility to format these messages
properly, rather than it being fcgiwrap's job to notice that the script
didn't terminate stderr with a newline and do so itself.
