a282a8f163 packfile: move MIDX into packfile store
The multi-pack index still is tracked as a member of the object database
source, but ultimately the MIDX is always tied to one specific packfile
store.

Move the structure into `struct packfile_store` accordingly. This
ensures that the packfile store now keeps track of all data related to
packfiles.

a593373b09 packfile: refactor find_pack_entry() to work on the packfile store
The function `find_pack_entry()` doesn't work on a specific packfile
store, but instead works on the whole repository. This causes a bit of a
conceptual mismatch in its callers:

  - `packfile_store_freshen_object()` supposedly acts on a store, and
    its callers know to iterate through all sources already.

  - `packfile_store_read_object_info()` behaves likewise.

The only exception that doesn't know to handle iteration through sources
is `has_object_pack()`, but that function is trivial to adapt.

Refactor the code so that `find_pack_entry()` works on the packfile
store level instead.

84f0e60b28 packfile: move packfile store into object source
The packfile store is a member of `struct object_database`, which means
that we have a single store per database. This doesn't really make much
sense though: each source connected to the database has its own set of
packfiles, so there is a conceptual mismatch here. This hasn't really
caused much of a problem in the past, but with the advent of pluggable
object databases this is becoming more of a problem because some of the
sources may not even use packfiles in the first place.

Move the packfile store down by one level from the object database into
the object database source. This ensures that each source now has its
own packfile store, and we can eventually start to abstract it away
entirely so that the caller doesn't even know what kind of store it
uses.

Note that we only need to adjust a relatively small number of callers,
way less than one might expect. This is because most callers are using
`repo_for_each_pack()`, which handles enumeration of all packfiles that
exist in the repository. So for now, none of these callers need to be
adapted. The remaining callers that iterate through the packfiles
directly and that need adjustment are those that are a bit more tangled
with packfiles. These will be adjusted over time.

Note that this patch only moves the packfile store, and there is still a
bunch of functions that seemingly operate on a packfile store but that
end up iterating over all sources. These will be adjusted in subsequent
commits.

eb9ec52d95 packfile: refactor misleading code when unusing pack windows
The function `unuse_one_window()` is responsible for unmapping one of
the packfile windows, which is done when we have exceeded the allowed
number of window.

The function receives a `struct packed_git` as input, which serves as an
additional packfile that should be considered to be closed. If not
given, we seemingly skip that and instead go through all of the
repository's packfiles. The conditional that checks whether we have a
packfile though does not make much sense anymore, as we dereference the
packfile regardless of whether or not it is a `NULL` pointer to derive
the repository's packfile store.

The function was originally introduced via f0e17e86e1 (pack: move
release_pack_memory(), 2017-08-18), and here we indeed had a caller that
passed a `NULL` pointer. That caller was later removed via 9827d4c185
(packfile: drop release_pack_memory(), 2019-08-12), so starting with
that commit we always pass a `struct packed_git`. In 9c5ce06d74
(packfile: use `repository` from `packed_git` directly, 2024-12-03) we
then inadvertently started to rely on the fact that the pointer is never
`NULL` because we use it now to identify the repository.

Arguably, it didn't really make sense in the first place that the caller
provides a packfile, as the selected window would have been overridden
anyway by the subsequent loop over all packfiles if there was an older
window. So the overall logic is quite misleading overall. The only case
where it _could_ make a difference is when there were two packfiles with
the same `last_used` value, but that case doesn't ever happen because
the `pack_used_ctr` is strictly increasing.

Refactor the code so that we instead pass in the object database to
help make the code less misleading.

085de91b95 packfile: refactor kept-pack cache to work with packfile stores
The kept pack cache is a cache of packfiles that are marked as kept
either via an accompanying ".kept" file or via an in-memory flag. The
cache can be retrieved via `kept_pack_cache()`, where one needs to pass
in a repository.

Ultimately though the kept-pack cache is a property of the packfile
store, and this causes problems in a subsequent commit where we want to
move down the packfile store to be a per-object-source entity.

Prepare for this and refactor the kept-pack cache to work on top of a
packfile store instead. While at it, rename both the function and flags
specific to the kept-pack cache so that they can be properly attributed
to the respective subsystems.

we start to prepare the pack via the source.

480336a9ce packfile: create store via its owning source
In subsequent patches we're about to move the packfile store from the
object database layer into the object database source layer. Once done,
we'll have one packfile store per source, where the source is owning the
store.

Prepare for this future and refactor `packfile_store_new()` to be
initialized via an object database source instead of via the object
database itself.

This refactoring leads to a weird in-between state where the store is
owned by the object database but created via the source. But this makes
subsequent refactorings easier because we can now start to access the
owning source of a given store.

36d43bef82 submodule: detect conflicts with existing gitdir configs
Credit goes to Emily and Josh for testing and noticing a corner-case
which caused conflicts with existing gitdir configs to silently pass
validation, then fail later in add_submodule() with a cryptic error:

fatal: A git directory for 'nested%2fsub' is found locally with remote(s):
  origin	/.../trash directory.t7425-submodule-gitdir-path-extension/sub

This change ensures the validation step checks existing gitdirs for
conflicts. We only have to do this for submodules having gitdirs,
because those without submodule.%s.gitdir need to be migrated and
will throw an error earlier in the submodule codepath.

Quoting Josh:
 My testing setup has been as follows:
 * Using our locally-built Git with our downstream patch of [1] included:
   * create a repo "sub"
   * create a repo "super"
   * In "super":
     * mkdir nested
     * git submodule add ../sub nested/sub
     * Verify that the submodule's gitdir is .git/modules/nested%2fsub
 * Using a build of git from upstream `next` plus this series:
   * git config set --global extensions.submodulepathconfig true
   * git clone --recurse-submodules super super2
   * create a repo "nested%2fsub"
   * In "super2":
     * git submodule add ../nested%2fsub

At this point I'd expect the collision detection / encoding to take
effect, but instead I get the error listed above.

This is a "last resort" type of measure to avoid conflicts since it
loses the human readability of the gitdir path. This logic will be
reached in rare cases, as can be seen in the test we added.

1bb1906270 submodule: fix case-folding gitdir filesystem collisions
Add a new check when extension.submodulePathConfig is enabled, to
detect and prevent case-folding filesystem colisions. When this
new check is triggered, a stricter casefolding aware URI encoding
is used to percent-encode uppercase characters.

By using this check/retry mechanism the uppercase encoding is
only applied when necessary, so case-sensitive filesystems are
not affected.

ee437749ff submodule--helper: fix filesystem collisions by encoding gitdir paths
Fix nested filesystem collisions by url-encoding gitdir paths stored
in submodule.%s.gitdir, when extensions.submodulePathConfig is enabled.

Credit goes to Junio and Patrick for coming up with this design: the
encoding is only applied when necessary, to newly added submodules.

Existing modules don't need the encoding because git already errors
out when detecting nested gitdirs before this patch.

This commit adds the basic url-encoding and some tests. Next commits
extend the encode -> validate -> retry loop to fix more conflicts.

7621825c43 builtin/credential-store: move is_rfc3986_unreserved to url.[ch]
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.

d5a4b9b73a submodule--helper: add gitdir migration command
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.

4cf8c114e3 submodule: allow runtime enabling extensions.submodulePathConfig
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).

7ad97f4bea submodule: introduce extensions.submodulePathConfig
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
