is_rfc3986_unreserved() was moved to credential-store.c and was made
static by f89854362c (credential-store: move related functions to
credential-store file, 2023-06-06) under a correct assumption, at the
time, that it was the only place using it.
However now we need it to apply URL-encoding to submodule names when
constructing gitdir paths, to avoid conflicts, so bring it back as a
public function exposed via url.h, instead of the old helper path
(strbuf), which has nothing to do with 3986 encoding/decoding anymore.
This function will be used in subsequent commits which do the encoding.

Manually running
"git config submodule.<name>.gitdir .git/modules/<name>"
for each submodule can be impractical, so add a migration command to
submodule--helper to automatically create configs for all submodules
as required by extensions.submodulePathConfig.
The command calls create_default_gitdir_config() which validates the
gitdir paths before adding the configs.

Add a new config `init.defaultSubmodulePathConfig` which allows
enabling `extensions.submodulePathConfig` for new submodules by
default (those created via git init or clone).
Important: setting init.defaultSubmodulePathConfig = true does
not globally enable `extensions.submodulePathConfig`. Existing
repositories will still have the extension disabled and will
require migration (for example via git submodule--helper command
added in the next commit).

The idea of this extension is to abstract away the submodule gitdir
path implementation: everyone is expected to use the config and not
worry about how the path is computed internally, either in git or
other implementations.
With this extension enabled, the submodule.<name>.gitdir repo config
becomes the single source of truth for all submodule gitdir paths.
The submodule.<name>.gitdir config is added automatically for all new
submodules when this extension is enabled.
Git will throw an error if the extension is enabled and a config is
missing, advising users how to migrate. Migration is manual for now.
E.g. to add a missing config entry for an existing "foo" module:
git config submodule.foo.gitdir .git/modules/foo

This exposes the gitdir name computed by submodule_name_to_gitdir()
internally, to make it easier for users and tests to interact with it.
Next commit will add a gitdir configuration, so this helper can also be
used to easily query that config or validate any gitdir path the user
sets (submodule_name_to_git_dir now runs the validation logic, since
our previous commit).

Move the ad-hoc validation checks sprinkled across the source tree,
after calling submodule_name_to_gitdir() into the function proper,
which now always validates the gitdir before returning it.
This simplifies the API and helps to:
1. Avoid redundant validation calls after submodule_name_to_gitdir().
2. Avoid the risk of callers forgetting to validate.
3. Ensure gitdir paths provided by users via configs are always valid
(config gitdir paths are added in a subsequent commit).
The validation function can still be called as many times as needed
outside submodule_name_to_gitdir(), for example we keep two calls
which are still required, to avoid parallel clone races by re-running
the validation in builtin/submodule-helper.c.

While testing submodule gitdir path encoding, I noticed submodule--helper
is still using a hardcoded modules gitdir path leading to test failures.
Call the submodule_name_to_gitdir() helper instead, which was invented
exactly for this purpose and is already used by all the other locations
which work on gitdirs.
Also narrow the scope of the submod_gitdir_path variable which is not
used anymore in the updated "else" branch.

At this point in the code after running skip_prefix() on the
variable and receiving the result in the same variable, the contents
of the variable can never be NULL. The function either (1) updates
the variable to point at a later part of the string it originally
pointed at, or (2) leaves it intact if the string does not have the
prefix. (1) will never make the variable NULL, and (2) cannot be
the source of NULL, because the variable cannot be NULL before
calling skip_prefix(), which would die immediately by dereferencing
the NULL pointer in that case.

Unlike the configuration option magic, the parseopt code also ignores
empty files: compare implementations from ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values
of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) and
749d6d166d (config: values of pathname type can be prefixed with
:(optional), 2025-09-28).
Unify the 2 by not ignoring empty files, which is less surprising and
the intended semantics from the first patch for config.

Previous commits have marked a number of error or warning messages in
"builtin/fast-export.c" and "builtin/fast-import.c" for translation.
As "gpg-interface.c" code is used by the fast-export and fast-import
code, we should make sure that error or warning messages are also all
marked for translation in "gpg-interface.c".
To ensure that, let's mark for translation an error message in a
die() function.
With this, all the error and warning messages emitted by fast-export
and fast-import can be properly translated.
