`watchman watch-list` reports a proper Windows-style pathname

With --temp (or --stage=all, which implies --temp), checkout-index
writes a list to stdout associating temporary file names to the entries'
names. But if it fails to write an entry, and the failure happens before
even assigning a temporary filename to that entry, we get an odd output
line. This can be seen when trying to check out a symlink whose blob is
missing:
$ missing_blob=$(git hash-object --stdin </dev/null)
$ git update-index --add --cacheinfo 120000,$missing_blob,foo
$ git checkout-index --temp foo
error: unable to read sha1 file of foo (e69de29bb2)
foo
The 'TAB foo' line is not much useful and it might break scripts that
expect the 'tempname TAB foo' output. So let's omit such entries from
the stdout list (but leaving the error message on stderr).
We could also consider omitting _all_ failed entries from the output
list, but that's probably not a good idea as the associated tempfiles
may have been created even when checkout failed, so scripts may want to
use the output list for cleanup.

The variables `path` and `ce->name`, at write_entry(), usually have the

writing to a tempfile. (In fact, `path` will be either empty or dirty
when writing to a tempfile.) Therefore, these variables cannot be used
interchangeably. In this sense, fix wrong uses of `path` in error

In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.
- "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is
no patch for C is shown.
- "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no
patch for C is shown.
- "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the
set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
or the first path that sorts after the specified path.

We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some
variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through
diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to
gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking
the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have
diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may
be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in
collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal),
that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all
these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then
call diffcore_rename() directly.
This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the
advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the
cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree
traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in
collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However...

Make use of the new find_basename_matches() function added in the last
two patches, to find renames more rapidly in cases where we can match up
files based on basenames. As a quick reminder (see the last two commit
messages for more details), this means for example that
docs/extensions.txt and docs/config/extensions.txt are considered likely
renames if there are no remaining 'extensions.txt' files elsewhere among
the added and deleted files, and if a similarity check confirms they are
similar, then they are marked as a rename without looking for a better
similarity match among other files. This is a behavioral change, as
covered in more detail in the previous commit message.
We do not use this heuristic together with either break or copy
detection. The point of break detection is to say that filename
similarity does not imply file content similarity, and we only want to
know about file content similarity. The point of copy detection is to
use more resources to check for additional similarities, while this is
an optimization that uses far less resources but which might also result
in finding slightly fewer similarities. So the idea behind this
optimization goes against both of those features, and will be turned off
for both.

It is not uncommon in real world repositories for the majority of file
renames to not change the basename of the file; i.e. most "renames" are
just a move of files into different directories. We can make use of
this to avoid comparing all rename source candidates with all rename
destination candidates, by first comparing sources to destinations with
the same basenames. If two files with the same basename are
sufficiently similar, we record the rename; if not, we include those
files in the more exhaustive matrix comparison.
This means we are adding a set of preliminary additional comparisons,
but for each file we only compare it with at most one other file. For
example, if there was a include/media/device.h that was deleted and a
src/module/media/device.h that was added, and there are no other
device.h files in the remaining sets of added and deleted files after
exact rename detection, then these two files would be compared in the
preliminary step.
This commit does not yet actually employ this new optimization, it
merely adds a function which can be used for this purpose. The next
commit will do the necessary plumbing to make use of it.
Note that this optimization might give us different results than without
the optimization, because it's possible that despite files with the same
basename being sufficiently similar to be considered a rename, there's
an even better match between files without the same basename. I think
that is okay for four reasons: (1) it's easy to explain to the users
what happened if it does ever occur (or even for them to intuitively
figure out), (2) as the next patch will show it provides such a large
performance boost that it's worth the tradeoff, and (3) it's somewhat
unlikely that despite having unique matching basenames that other files
serve as better matches. Reason (4) takes a full paragraph to
explain...
If the previous three reasons aren't enough, consider what rename
detection already does. Break detection is not the default, meaning
that if files have the same _fullname_, then they are considered related
even if they are 0% similar. In fact, in such a case, we don't even
bother comparing the files to see if they are similar let alone
comparing them to all other files to see what they are most similar to.
Basically, we override content similarity based on sufficient filename
similarity. Without the filename similarity (currently implemented as
an exact match of filename), we swing the pendulum the opposite
direction and say that filename similarity is irrelevant and compare a
full N x M matrix of sources and destinations to find out which have the
most similar contents. This optimization just adds another form of
filename similarity comparison, but augments it with a file content
similarity check as well. Basically, if two files have the same
basename and are sufficiently similar to be considered a rename, mark
them as such without comparing the two to all other rename candidates.

We want to make use of unique basenames among remaining source and
destination files to help inform rename detection, so that more likely
pairings can be checked first. (src/moduleA/foo.txt and
source/module/A/foo.txt are likely related if there are no other
'foo.txt' files among the remaining deleted and added files.) Add a new
function, not yet used, which creates a map of the unique basenames
within rename_src and another within rename_dst, together with the
indices within rename_src/rename_dst where those basenames show up.
Non-unique basenames still show up in the map, but have an invalid index
(-1).
This function was inspired by the fact that in real world repositories,
files are often moved across directories without changing names. Here
are some sample repositories and the percentage of their historical
renames (as of early 2020) that preserved basenames:
* linux: 76%
* gcc: 64%
* gecko: 79%
* webkit: 89%
These statistics alone don't prove that an optimization in this area
will help or how much it will help, since there are also unpaired adds
and deletes, restrictions on which basenames we consider, etc., but it
certainly motivated the idea to try something in this area.

We have to look at each entry in rename_src a total of rename_dst_nr
times. When we're not detecting copies, any exact renames or ignorable
rename paths will just be skipped over. While checking that these can
be skipped over is a relatively cheap check, it's still a waste of time
to do that check more than once, let alone rename_dst_nr times. When
rename_src_nr is a few thousand times bigger than the number of relevant
sources (such as when cherry-picking a commit that only touched a
handful of files, but from a side of history that has different names
for some high level directories), this time can add up.
First make an initial pass over the rename_src array and move all the
relevant entries to the front, so that we can iterate over just those
relevant entries.

As we would like to use this trailers logic in the ref-filter, it's
nice to get an invalid trailer argument. This will allow us to print
precise error message while using `format_set_trailers_options()` in
ref-filter.
For capturing the invalid argument, we changed the working of
`format_set_trailers_options()` a little bit.
Original logic does "break" and fell through in mainly 2 cases -
1. unknown/invalid argument
2. end of the arg string
But now instead of "break", we capture invalid argument and return
non-zero. And non-zero is handled by the caller.
(We prepared the caller to handle non-zero in the previous commit).
Capturing invalid arguments this way will also affects the working
of current logic. As at the end of the arg string it will return non-zero.
So in order to make things correct, introduced an additional conditional
statement i.e if encounter ")", do 'break'.
