Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it
can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic
for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options.
There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but
the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.
Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.
This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are
export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1
git blame -- something
git log --follow something
git log --merge
"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.

Use "struct pathspec" interface in more places, instead of array of
characters, the latter of which cannot express magic pathspecs
(e.g. ":(icase)makefile" that matches both Makefile and makefile).
* nd/magic-pathspec:
add: lift the pathspec magic restriction on "add -p"
pathspec: catch prepending :(prefix) on pathspec with short magic
:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.
With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:
- make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
--literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
disables _all_ pathspec magic.
- individually turn on globbing with :(glob)
- make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs
- individually turn off globbing with :(literal)
The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

Prepending prefix to pathspec is a trick to workaround the fact that
commands can be executed in a subdirectory, but all git commands run
at worktree's root. The prefix part should always be treated as
literal string. Make it so.

This patch is essentially no-op. It helps catching new use of this
field though. This field is introduced as an intermediate step for the
pathspec conversion and will be removed eventually. At this stage no
more access sites should be introduced.

check-ignore (at least the test suite) seems to rely on the pattern
order. PATHSPEC_KEEP_ORDER is introduced to explictly express this.
The lack of PATHSPEC_MAXDEPTH_VALID is sufficient because it's the
only flag that reorders pathspecs, but it's less obvious that way.

GUARD_PATHSPEC() marks pathspec-sensitive code, basically all those
that touch anything in 'struct pathspec' except fields "nr" and
"original". GUARD_PATHSPEC() is not supposed to fail. It's mainly to
help the designers catch unsupported codepaths.

This makes 'original' suitable for passing to an external command
because all pathspec magic is left in place, provided that the
external command understands pathspec. The prefixing is needed because
we usually launch a subcommand at worktree's top directory and the
subcommand can no longer calculate the prefix itself.
This slightly affects the original purpose of 'original'
(i.e. reporting). We should report without prefixing. So only turn
this flag on when you know you are about to pass the result straight
away to an external command.

match_pathspec_depth() and tree_entry_interesting() check max_depth
field in order to support "git grep --max-depth". The feature
activation is tied to "recursive" field, which led to some unwanted
activation, e.g. 5c8eeb8 (diff-index: enable recursive pathspec
matching in unpack_trees - 2012-01-15).
This patch decouples the activation from "recursive" field, puts it in
"magic" field instead. This makes sure that only "git grep" can
activate this feature. And because parse_pathspec knows when the
feature is not used, it does not need to sort pathspec (required for
max_depth to work correctly). A small win for non-grep cases.
Even though a new magic flag is introduced, no magic syntax is. The
magic can be only enabled by parse_pathspec() caller. We might someday
want to support ":(maxdepth:10)src." It all depends on actual use
cases.
max_depth feature cannot be enabled via init_pathspec() anymore. But
that's ok because init_pathspec() is on its way to /dev/null.

We have two ways of dealing with empty pathspec:
1. limit it to current prefix
2. match the entire working directory
Some commands go with #1, some #2. get_pathspec() and parse_pathspec()
only support #1. Make parse_pathspec() reject empty pathspec by
default. #1 and #2 can be specified via new flags. This makes it more
expressive about default behavior at command level.

Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do:
const char **paths;
paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
...
init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);
"paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from
command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's
length for each argument.
parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The
plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with
parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of
parse_pathspec().
parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that
it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can
enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no
problem with the new magic.
"flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to
pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing
literal pathspec when no magic is used.
With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions
that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and
parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be
reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in
favor of parse_pathspec().

Because free_pathspec wants to free "items" pointer in the pathspec
structure, a simple structure assignment is not enough if you want to
copy an existing pathspec into another. Freeing the original will
damage the copy unless a deep copy is made.
Note that the strings in pathspec->items->match and the array
pathspec->raw[] are still shared between the original and the copy.
