Callers of verify-tag may want to cross-check the tagname from refs/tags
with the tagname from the tag object header upon GPG verification. This
is to avoid tag refs that point to an incorrect object.
Add a --format parameter to git verify-tag to print the formatted tag
object header in addition to or instead of the --verbose or --raw GPG
verification output.

The PGP verification routine for tags could be accessed by other modules
that require to do so.
Publish the verify_tag function in tag.c and rename it to gpg_verify_tag
so it does not conflict with builtin/mktag's static function.

The current interface of verify_tag() resolves reference names to SHA1,
however, the plan is to make this functionality public and the current
interface is cumbersome for callers: they are expected to supply the
textual representation of a sha1/refname. In many cases, this requires
them to turn the sha1 to hex representation, just to be converted back
inside verify_tag.
Add a SHA1 parameter to use instead of the name parameter, and rename
the name parameter to "name_to_report" for reporting purposes only.

The run_gpg_verify() function has two variables, size and len.
This may come off as confusing when reading the code. Clarify which one
pertains to the length of the tag headers by renaming len to
payload_size. Additionally, change the type of payload_size to size_t to
match the return type of parse_signature.

The verify_signed_buffer() function may trigger a SIGPIPE when the
GPG child process terminates early (due to a bad keyid, for example)
and Git tries to write to it afterwards. Previously, ignoring
SIGPIPE was done in builtin/verify-tag.c to avoid this issue.
However, any other caller who wants to call verify_signed_buffer()
would have to do the same.
Use sigchain_push(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) in verify_signed_buffer(),
pretty much like in sign_buffer(), so that any caller is not
required to perform this task.
This will avoid possible mistakes by further developers using
verify_signed_buffer().

verify-tag by default displays human-readable output on standard error.
However, it can also be useful to get access to the raw gpg status
information, which is machine-readable, allowing automated
implementation of signing policy. Add a --raw option to make verify-tag
produce the gpg status information on standard error instead of the
human-readable format.

The code to handle printing of signature data from a struct
signature_check is very similar between verify-commit and verify-tag.
Place this in a single function. verify-tag retains its special case
behavior of printing the tag even when no valid signature is found.

verify-commit and verify-tag both share a central codepath for verifying
commits: check_signature. However, verify-tag exited successfully for
untrusted signature, while verify-commit exited unsuccessfully.
Centralize this signature check and make verify-commit adopt the older
verify-tag behavior. This behavior is more logical anyway, as the
signature is in fact valid, whether or not there's a path of trust to
the author.

verify-tag was executing an entirely different codepath than
verify-commit, except for the underlying verify_signed_buffer. Move
much of the code from check_commit_signature to a generic
check_signature function and adjust both codepaths to call it.
Update verify-tag to explicitly output the signature text, as we now
call verify_signed_buffer with strbufs to catch the output, which
prevents it from being printed automatically.

This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt-
like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for
end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include:
- Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters
- Putting dashes in multiword parameter names
- Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar]
- Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...]

This mostly moves existing code from builtin/tag.c (for signing)
and builtin/verify-tag.c (for verifying) to a new gpg-interface.c
file to provide a more generic library interface.
- sign_buffer() takes a payload strbuf, a signature strbuf, and a signing
key, runs "gpg" to produce a detached signature for the payload, and
appends it to the signature strbuf. The contents of a signed tag that
concatenates the payload and the detached signature can be produced by
giving the same strbuf as payload and signature strbuf.
- verify_signed_buffer() takes a payload and a detached signature as
<ptr, len> pairs, and runs "gpg --verify" to see if the payload matches
the signature. It can optionally capture the output from GPG to allow
the callers to pretty-print it in a way more suitable for their
contexts.
"verify-tag" (aka "tag -v") used to save the whole tag contents as if it
is a detached signature, and fed gpg the payload part of the tag. It
relied on gpg to fail when the given tag is not signed but just is
annotated. The updated run_gpg_verify() function detects the lack of
detached signature in the input, and errors out without bothering "gpg".

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
