The previous commit added code generation for all_cmd_desc[] which
includes almost everything we need to generate common command list.
Convert help code to use that array instead and drop common_cmds[] array.
The description of each common command group is removed from
command-list.txt. This keeps this file format simpler. common-cmds.h
will not be generated correctly after this change due to the
command-list.txt format change. But it does not matter and
common-cmds.h will be removed.

The current generate-cmds.sh generates just enough to print "git help"
output. That is, it only extracts help text for common commands.
The script is now updated to extract help text for all commands and
keep command classification a new file, command-list.h. This will be
useful later:
- "git help -a" could print a short summary of all commands instead of
just the common ones.
- "git" could produce a list of commands of one or more category. One
of its use is to reduce another command classification embedded in
git-completion.bash.
The new file can be generated but is not used anywhere yet. The plan
is we migrate away from common-cmds.h. Then we can kill off
common-cmds.h build rules and generation code (and also delete
duplicate content in command-list.h which we keep for now to not mess
generate-cmds.sh up too much).
PS. The new fixed column requirement on command-list.txt is
technically not needed. But it helps simplify the code a bit at this
stage. We could lift this restriction later if we want to.

The build procedure learned to optionally use symbolic links
(instead of hardlinks and copies) to install "git-foo" for built-in
commands, whose binaries are all identical.
* ab/install-symlinks:
Makefile: optionally symlink libexec/git-core binaries to bin/git
Makefile: add a gitexecdir_relative variable
Makefile: fix broken bindir_relative variable
Git can be built to use either v1 or v2 of the PCRE library, and so
far, the build-time configuration USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease instructed
the build procedure to use v1, but now it means v2. USE_LIBPCRE1
and USE_LIBPCRE2 can be used to explicitly choose which version to
use, as before.
* ab/pcre-v2:
Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1
configure: detect redundant --with-libpcre & --with-libpcre1
configure: fix a regression in PCRE v1 detection
This will become an umbrella program that absorbs most [1] t/helper
programs in. By having a single executable binary we reduce disk usage
(libgit.a is replicated by every t/helper program) and shorten link
time a bit.
Running "make --jobs=1; du -sh t/helper" with ccache fully populated,
it takes 27 seconds and 277MB at the beginning of this series, 17
seconds and 42MB at the end.
[1] There are a couple programs that will not become part of
test-tool: test-line-buffer and test-svn-fe have extra
dependencies and test-fake-ssh's program name has to be a single
word for some ssh tests.

Clean-up to various pieces of Perl code we have.
* ab/perl-fixes:
perl Git::LoadCPAN: emit better errors under NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS
Makefile: add NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS knob
perl: move the perl/Git/FromCPAN tree to perl/FromCPAN
perl: generalize the Git::LoadCPAN facility
perl: move CPAN loader wrappers to another namespace
perl: update our copy of Mail::Address
perl: update our ancient copy of Error.pm
git-send-email: unconditionally use Net::{SMTP,Domain}
Git.pm: hard-depend on the File::{Temp,Spec} modules
gitweb: hard-depend on the Digest::MD5 5.8 module
Git.pm: add the "use warnings" pragma
Git.pm: remove redundant "use strict" from sub-package
perl: *.pm files should not have the executable bit
Add a INSTALL_SYMLINKS option which if enabled, changes the default
hardlink installation method to one where the relevant binaries in
libexec/git-core are symlinked back to ../../bin, instead of being
hardlinked.
This new option also overrides the behavior of the existing
NO_*_HARDLINKS variables which in some cases would produce symlinks
within to libexec/, e.g. "git-add" symlinked to "git" which would be
copy of the "git" found in bin/, now "git-add" in libexec/ is always
going to be symlinked to the "git" found in the bin/ directory.
This option is being added because:
1) I think it makes what we're doing a lot more obvious. E.g. I'd
never noticed that the libexec binaries were really just hardlinks
since e.g. ls(1) won't show that in any obvious way. You need to
start stat(1)-ing things and look at the inodes to see what's
going on.
2) Some tools have very crappy support for hardlinks, e.g. the Git
shipped with GitLab is much bigger than it should be because
they're using a chef module that doesn't know about hardlinks, see
https://github.com/chef/omnibus/issues/827
I've also ran into other related issues that I think are explained
by this, e.g. compiling git with debugging and rpm refusing to
install a ~200MB git package with 2GB left on the FS, I think that
was because it doesn't consider hardlinks, just the sum of the
byte size of everything in the package.
As for the implementation, the "../../bin" noted above will vary given
some given some values of "../.." and "bin" depending on the depth of
the gitexecdir relative to the destdir, and the "bindir" target,
e.g. setting "bindir=/tmp/git/binaries gitexecdir=foo/bar/baz" will do
the right thing and produce this result:
$ file /tmp/git/foo/bar/baz/git-add
/tmp/git/foo/bar/baz/git-add: symbolic link to ../../../binaries/git

This variable will be e.g. "libexec/git-core" if
gitexecdir=/tmp/git/libexec/git-core is given. It'll be used by a
subsequent change.
This is stolen from the yet-to-be integrated (needs resubmission)

Change the bindir_relative variable to work like the other *_relative
variables, which are computed as a function of the absolute
path. Before this change, supplying e.g. bindir=/tmp/git/binaries to
the Makefile would yield a bindir_relative of just "bin", as opposed
to "binaries".
This logic was originally added back in 026fa0d5ad ("Move computation
of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in preparation for
RUNTIME_PREFIX)", 2009-01-18), then later in 971f85388f ("Makefile:
make mandir, htmldir and infodir absolute", 2013-02-24) when
more *_relative variables were added those new variables didn't have
this bug, but bindir_relative was never fixed.
There is a small change in behavior here, which is that setting
bindir_relative as an argument to the Makefile won't work anymore, I
think that's fine, since this was always intended as an internal
variable (e.g. INSTALL documents bindir=*, not bindir_relative=*).

Change the USE_LIBPCRE flag from being an alias for USE_LIBPCRE1 to
being an alias for USE_LIBPCRE2.
When support for v2 was added in my 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for
PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) the existing USE_LIBPCRE flag was left as
meaning v1, with a note that this would likely change in a future
release. That optional support for v2 first made it into Git version
2.14.0.
The PCRE v2 support has been shown to be stable, and the upstream PCRE
project is highly encouraging downstream users to move to v2, so it
makes sense to give packagers of Git who haven't heard the news about
PCRE v2 a further nudge to move to v2.

Before my 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple
make rules", 2017-12-10) on an OS package that removed the
private-Error.pm copy we carried around manually removing the OS's
Error.pm would yield:
$ git add -p
Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Error module) [...]
Now, before this change we'll instead emit this more cryptic error:
$ git add -p
BUG: '/usr/share/perl5/Git/FromCPAN' should be a directory! at /usr/share/perl5/Git/Error.pm line 36.
This is a confusing error. Now if the new NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS
option is specified and we can't find the module we'll instead emit:
$ /tmp/git/bin/git add -p
BUG: The 'Error' module is not here, but NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS was set!
[...]
Where [...] is the lengthy explanation seen in the change below, which
explains what the potential breakage is, and how to fix it.
The reason for checking @@NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS@@] against the empty
string in Perl is as opposed to checking for a boolean value is that
that's (as far as I can tell) make's idea of a string that's set, and
e.g. NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS=0 is enough to set NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS.

We include some perl modules which are not part of the core perl
install, as a convenience. This allows us to rely on those modules in
our perl-based tools and scripts without requiring users to install the
modules from CPAN or their operating system packages.
Users whose operating system provides these modules and packagers of Git
often don't want to ship or use these bundled modules. Allow these
users to set NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS to avoid installing the bundled
modules.

Move the CPAN modules that have lived under perl/Git/FromCPAN since my
20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make
rules", 2017-12-10) to perl/FromCPAN.
A subsequent change will teach the Makefile to only install these
copies of CPAN modules if a flag that distro packagers would like to
set isn't set. Due to how the wildcard globbing is being done it's
much easier to accomplish that if they're moved to their own
directory.
