Introduce the notion of default diff format for merges, and the option
"on" to select it. The default format is "separate" and can't yet
be changed, so effectively "on" is just a synonym for "separate"

We auto-generate the list of supported configuration variables from
'Documentation/config/*.txt', and that list used to be created by the
'generate-cmdlist.sh' helper script and stored in the 'command-list.h'
header. Commit 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to
builtin/help, 2020-04-16) extracted this into a dedicated
'generate-configlist.sh' script and 'config-list.h' header, and added
a new target in the 'Makefile' as well, but while doing so it forgot
to extract the dependencies of the latter. Consequently, since then
'config-list.h' is not re-generated when 'Documentation/config/*.txt'
is updated, while 'command-list.h' is re-generated unnecessarily:
$ touch Documentation/config/log.txt
$ make -j4
GEN command-list.h
CC help.o
AR libgit.a
Fix this and list all config-related documentation files as
dependencies of 'config-list.h' and remove them from the dependencies
of 'command-list.h'.

In 56c6910028a (fsmonitor: change last update timestamp on the
index_state to opaque token, 2020-01-07), we forgot to adjust the part
of `unpack_trees()` that copies the FSMonitor "last-update" information
that we copy from the source index to the result index since 679f2f9fdd2
(unpack-trees: skip stat on fsmonitor-valid files, 2019-11-20).
Since the "last-update" information is no longer a 64-bit number, but a
free-form string that has been allocated, we need to duplicate it rather
than just copying it.
This is important because there _are_ cases when `unpack_trees()` will
perform a oneway merge that implicitly calls `refresh_fsmonitor()`
(which will allocate that "last-update" token). This happens _after_
that token was copied into the result index. However, we _then_ call
`check_updates()` on that index, which will _also_ call
`refresh_fsmonitor()`, accessing the "last-update" string, which by now
would be released already.
In the instance that lead to this patch, this caused a segmentation
fault during a lengthy, complicated rebase involving the todo command
`reset` that (crucially) had to updated many files. Unfortunately, it
seems very hard to trigger that crash, therefore this patch is not
accompanied by a regression test.

This patch fixes a bug where git-bisect doesn't handle receiving
annotated tags as "git bisect good <tag>", etc. It's a regression in
27257bc466 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_state` & `bisect_head`
shell functions in C, 2020-10-15).
The original shell code called:
sha=$(git rev-parse --verify "$rev^{commit}") ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Bad rev input: \$rev")"
which will peel the input to a commit (or complain if that's not
possible). But the C code just calls get_oid(), which will yield the oid
of the tag.
The fix is to peel to a commit. The error message here is a little
non-idiomatic for Git (since it starts with a capital). I've mostly left
it, as it matches the other converted messages (like the "Bad rev input"
we print when get_oid() fails), though I did add an indication that it
was the peeling that was the problem. It might be worth taking a pass
through this converted code to modernize some of the error messages.
Note also that the test does a bare "grep" (not i18ngrep) on the
expected "X is the first bad commit" output message. This matches the
rest of the test script.

a new feature (if the remote has an unborn HEAD, e.g. when the remote
repository is empty, use it as the name of the branch) that only works
in protocol v2, but did not ensure that one of its tests always uses
protocol v2, and thus that test would fail if
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 (or 1) is used. Therefore, add "-c

(The rest of the tests from that commit have "-c protocol.version=2"
already added.)

When 98ea309b3f (mergetool: add hideResolved configuration,
2021-02-09) introduced the mergetool.hideResolved setting to reduce
the clutter in viewing non-conflicted sections of files in a
mergetool, it enabled it by default, explaining:
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`.
In practice, alas, adverse effects do appear. A few issues:
1. No indication is shown in the UI that the base, local, and remote
versions shown have been modified by additional resolution. This
is inherent in the design: the idea of mergetool.hideResolved is to
convince a mergetool that expects pristine local, base, and remote
files to show partially resolved verisons of those files instead;
there is no additional source of information accessible to the
mergetool to see where the resolution has happened.
(By contrast, a mergetool generating the partial resolution from
conflict markers for itself would be able to hilight the resolved
sections with a different color.)
A user accustomed to seeing the files without partial resolution
gets no indication that this behavior has changed when they upgrade
Git.
2. If the computed merge did not line up the files correctly (for
example due to repeated sections in the file), the partially
resolved files can be misleading and do not have enough information
to reconstruct what happened and compute the correct merge result.
3. Resolving a conflict can involve information beyond the textual
conflict. For example, if the local and remote versions added
overlapping functionality in different ways, seeing the full
unresolved versions of each alongside the base gives information
about each side's intent that makes it possible to come up with a
resolution that combines those two intents. By contrast, when
starting with partially resolved versions of those files, one can
produce a subtly wrong resolution that includes redundant extra
code added by one side that is not needed in the approach taken
on the other.
All that said, a user wanting to focus on textual conflicts with
reduced clutter can still benefit from mergetool.hideResolved=true as
a way to deemphasize sections of the code that resolve cleanly without
requiring any changes to the invoked mergetool. The caveats described
above are reduced when the user has explicitly turned this on, because
then the user is aware of them.
Flip the default to 'false'.
