The usage messages for some commands (such as 'git diff-tree')
are truncated because they don't fit in a fixed buffer of
1024 bytes.
It would be tempting to eliminate the buffer and the problem once
and for all by doing the output in three steps, but doing so could
(according to commit d048a96e) increase the likelyhood of messing
up the display.
So we just increase the size of the buffer.

Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing
their usage messages. An option is to change usage() itself also be like
printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn().
But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives
diagnostics depending on the situation. Indeed, the majority of strings
given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings. If we were to
make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have
"%s" as their first argument.
So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use
it.

Some compilers (including at least MSVC and ARM RVDS) supports
NORETURN on function declarations, but not on function pointers.
This patch makes it possible to define NORETURN for these compilers,
by splitting the NORETURN macro into two - one for function
declarations and one for function pointers.

There are many calls to die() that do, or should, report
strerror(errno) to indicate how the syscall they guard failed.
Introduce a small helper function for this case.
Note:
- POSIX says vsnprintf can modify errno in some unlikely cases, so we
have to use errno early.
- We take some care to pass the original format to die_routine(), in
case someone wants to call die_errno() with custom format
characters.

Long messages like those from lockfile.c when a lock can't be
obtained truncate with only 256 bytes in the message buffer.
Bump it to 1024 to give more space for these longer cases.

This fixes a problem reported by Randal Schwartz:

It was annoying to me, too, when I was doing some mergetool testing on
Mac OS X, so here's a fix.

Like the existing error() function the new warn() function can be
used to describe a situation that probably should not be occuring,
but which the user (and Git) can continue to work around without
running into too many problems.
An example situation is a bad commit SHA1 found in a reflog.
Attempting to read this record out of the reflog isn't really an
error as we have skipped over it in the past.

This patch makes the usage(), die() and error() handlers customizable.
Nothing in the git code itself uses that but many other libgit users
(like Git.pm) will.
This is implemented using the mutator functions primarily because you
cannot directly modifying global variables of libgit from a program that
dlopen()ed it, apparently. But having functions for that is a better API
anyway.

This attempts to clean up the way various compatibility
functions are defined and used.
- A new header file, git-compat-util.h, is introduced. This
looks at various NO_XXX and does necessary function name
replacements, equivalent of -Dstrcasestr=gitstrcasestr in the
Makefile.
- Those function name replacements are removed from the Makefile.
- Common features such as usage(), die(), xmalloc() are moved
from cache.h to git-compat-util.h; cache.h includes
git-compat-util.h itself.

Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the
"git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error.
In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files)
and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index
without any errors.
This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually
modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message
if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an
error for the caller to check.
Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we
ever want to check the failure reason in scripts.

Add <limits.h> to the include files handled by "cache.h", and remove
extraneous #include directives from various .c files. The rule is that
"cache.h" gets all the basic stuff, so that we'll have as few system
dependencies as possible.
