So with these fixes all tests pass here.

I still have occasionally a few "vanished known breakages" but these are not reproducible and seems to be triggered by high level of test parallelism.

I wanted you all to have a look at my changes. Maybe I did something really stupid ;) ?
And I actually also want the process to be that as many changes as possible go through PRs.

Here you are... I commented a bit ;-) Thanks for doing this, and let me know if you need me to work on one or more issues myself.

All CRLF vs LF errors are introduced by the tr tool.

Our current version of bash 3.1.17(5) can not parse the following snippet
correctly
p=abcd
abspath=/$p
subdir="x$(echo "$p" | tail -c $((253 - ${#abspath})))"
as it returns
tail: cannot open `253' for reading: No such file or directory

This is fixed in bash 3.1.20(4), I did not check earlier versions.

As non reliable tests are nasty.

A string of the form "@/abcd" is considered a file path
by the msys layer and therefore translated to a windows path.

Here the trick is to double the slashes.

The msys patch translation can be studied with the following
test program:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>

 int main(int argc, char** argv)
 {
 unsigned int i;
 for(i=1; i < argc; i++)
 	printf("argv[%d]=%s\n",i, argv[i]);

 exit(0);
 }

This reverts commit 57a35fd.

test_cmp_text is not defined anymore and as of 4d715ac
(Windows: a test_cmp that is agnostic to random LF <> CRLF conversions)
this workaround is also not required anymore.

I would keep it in. Once we have a newer bash we can always revert it with fixup.

The collect_parents() function now is responsible for

 1. parsing the commits given on the command line into a list of
    commits to be merged;

 2. filtering these parents into independent ones; and

 3. optionally calling fmt_merge_msg() via prepare_merge_message()
    to prepare an auto-generated merge log message, using fake
    contents that FETCH_HEAD would have had if these commits were
    fetched from the current repository with "git pull . $args..."

Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional

    git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits

invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones
that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by
making it do a bit more, specifically:

 - noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line
   and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as
   the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above);

 - letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above;

 - doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD
   instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed
   in the step #1 above.

Note that this changes the semantics.  "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has
always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were
directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge
whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz".  With this
change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g.
"git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to
create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b"
were run.  This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and
can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests.

When ac49f5c (rerere "remaining", 2011-02-16) split out a new
helper function check_one_conflict() out of find_conflict()
function, so that the latter will use the returned value from the
new helper to update the loop control variable that is an index into
active_cache[], the new variable incremented the index by one too
many when it found a path with only stage #1 entry at the very end
of active_cache[].

This "strange" return value does not have any effect on the loop
control of two callers of this function, as they all notice that
active_nr+2 is larger than active_nr just like active_nr+1 is, but
nevertheless it puzzles the readers when they are trying to figure
out what the function is trying to do.

In fact, there is no need to do an early return.  The code that
follows after skipping the stage #1 entry is fully prepared to
handle a case where the entry is at the very end of active_cache[].

Help future readers from unnecessary confusion by dropping an early
return.  We skip the stage #1 entry, and if there are stage #2 and
stage git-for-windows#3 entries for the same path, we diagnose the path as
THREE_STAGED (otherwise we say PUNTED), and then we skip all entries
for the same path.

In some setups, old-style submodules (i.e. the ones
with .git directory within theirs worktrees) with commondir
can be of tremendous help. For example, commondir link can be
used to avoid duplication of objects and also to keep branches
in sync with multiple copies of the repo's worktree, while keeping
the .git directory inside the worktree can be (ab?-)used to exploit
the sharing of the same submodule worktree across different projects
(this at least works on Windows with submodule directory being
a directory junction, but having a junction is not relevant for
reproducing the bug described below).

Unfortunately, at the moment, when `git status` is run in the root repo
of such a setup, it gives an output akin to this:
```sh
fatal: unable to access '�??\1?/config': Invalid argument
fatal: 'git status --porcelain=2' failed in submodule commonlibs
```
where `�??\1?` part of '�??\1?/config' varies from run to run, and
`commonlibs` is the name of submodule's directory.

Currently, when Git discovers old-style submodule , it spawns subprocess
to get its status, like this one:
```sh
cd commonlibs; unset GIT_PREFIX; GIT_DIR=.git git status --porcelain=2
```
Unsurprisingly, the following output is also quite unexpected:
```
fatal: unable to access '`??L&?/config': Invalid argument
```

The core reason for these is that global repository field for
commondir is not being cleared to `NULL` after being `free()`'d
in `repo_set_commondir()`, which is precisely what this commit fixes.

Regarding the further details of the case of investigation,
this value of struct pointed by the global `the_repository` pointer is
checked for being not-NULL down in the callstack in compatibility layer
for MinGW in a function that is called by `repo_set_commondir()` before
the `free()`'d value gets assigned in its body (i.e. the body of
`repo_set_commondir()`).

In some setups, old-style submodules (i.e. the ones
with .git directory within theirs worktrees) with commondir
can be of tremendous help. For example, commondir link can be
used to avoid duplication of objects and also to keep branches
in sync with multiple copies of the repo's worktree, while keeping
the .git directory inside the worktree can be (ab?-)used to exploit
the sharing of the same submodule worktree across different projects
(this at least works on Windows with submodule directory being
a directory junction, but having a junction is not relevant for
reproducing the bug described below).

Unfortunately, at the moment, when `git status` is run in the root repo
of such a setup, it gives an output akin to this:
```sh
fatal: unable to access '�??\1?/config': Invalid argument
fatal: 'git status --porcelain=2' failed in submodule commonlibs
```
where `�??\1?` part of '�??\1?/config' varies from run to run, and
`commonlibs` is the name of submodule's directory.

Currently, when Git discovers old-style submodule , it spawns subprocess
to get its status, like this one:
```sh
cd commonlibs; unset GIT_PREFIX; GIT_DIR=.git git status --porcelain=2
```
Unsurprisingly, the following output is also quite unexpected:
```
fatal: unable to access '`??L&?/config': Invalid argument
```

The core reason for these is that global repository field for
commondir is not being cleared to `NULL` after being `free()`'d
in `repo_set_commondir()`, which is precisely what this commit fixes.

Regarding the further details of the case of investigation,
this value of struct pointed by the global `the_repository` pointer is
checked for being not-NULL down in the callstack in compatibility layer
for MinGW in a function that is called by `repo_set_commondir()` before
the `free()`'d value gets assigned in its body (i.e. the body of
`repo_set_commondir()`).

dscho pushed a commit to sceptical-coder/git that referenced this pull request Nov 4, 2022
In some setups, old-style submodules (i.e. the ones
with .git directory within theirs worktrees) with commondir
can be of tremendous help. For example, commondir link can be
used to avoid duplication of objects and also to keep branches
in sync with multiple copies of the repo's worktree, while keeping
the .git directory inside the worktree can be (ab?-)used to exploit
the sharing of the same submodule worktree across different projects
(this at least works on Windows with submodule directory being
a directory junction, but having a junction is not relevant for
reproducing the bug described below).

Unfortunately, at the moment, when `git status` is run in the root repo
of such a setup, it gives an output akin to this:
```sh
fatal: unable to access '�??\1?/config': Invalid argument
fatal: 'git status --porcelain=2' failed in submodule commonlibs
```
where `�??\1?` part of '�??\1?/config' varies from run to run, and
`commonlibs` is the name of submodule's directory.

Currently, when Git discovers old-style submodule , it spawns subprocess
to get its status, like this one:
```sh
cd commonlibs; unset GIT_PREFIX; GIT_DIR=.git git status --porcelain=2
```
Unsurprisingly, the following output is also quite unexpected:
```
fatal: unable to access '`??L&?/config': Invalid argument
```

The core reason for these is that global repository field for
commondir is not being cleared to `NULL` after being `free()`'d
in `repo_set_commondir()`, which is precisely what this commit fixes.

Regarding the further details of the case of investigation,
this value of struct pointed by the global `the_repository` pointer is
checked for being not-NULL down in the callstack in compatibility layer
for MinGW in a function that is called by `repo_set_commondir()` before
the `free()`'d value gets assigned in its body (i.e. the body of
`repo_set_commondir()`).

When "read_strategy_opts()" is called we may have populated the
"opts->strategy" before, so we'll need to free() it to avoid leaking
memory.

We populate it before because we cal get_replay_opts() from within
"rebase.c" with an already populated "opts", which we then copy. Then
if we're doing a "rebase -i" the sequencer API itself will promptly
clobber our alloc'd version of it with its own.

If this code is changed to do, instead of the added free() here a:

	if (opts->strategy)
		opts->strategy = xstrdup("another leak");

We get a couple of stacktraces from -fsanitize=leak showing how we
ended up clobbering the already allocated value, i.e.:

This can be seen in e.g. the 4th test of
"t3404-rebase-interactive.sh".

In the larger picture the ownership of the "struct replay_opts" is
quite a mess, e.g. in this case rebase.c's static "get_replay_opts()"
function partially creates it, but nothing in rebase.c will free()
it. The structure is "mostly owned" by the sequencer API, but it also
expects to get these partially populated versions of it.

It would be better to have rebase keep track of what it allocated, and
free() that, and to pass that as a "const" to the sequencer API, which
would copy what it needs to its own version, and to free() that.

But doing so is a much larger change, and however messy the ownership
boundary is here is consistent with what we're doing already, so let's
just free() this to fix the leak.

This can be seen in e.g. the 4th test of
"t3404-rebase-interactive.sh".

In the larger picture the ownership of the "struct replay_opts" is
quite a mess, e.g. in this case rebase.c's static "get_replay_opts()"
function partially creates it, but nothing in rebase.c will free()
it. The structure is "mostly owned" by the sequencer API, but it also
expects to get these partially populated versions of it.

It would be better to have rebase keep track of what it allocated, and
free() that, and to pass that as a "const" to the sequencer API, which
would copy what it needs to its own version, and to free() that.

But doing so is a much larger change, and however messy the ownership
boundary is here is consistent with what we're doing already, so let's
just free() this to fix the leak.

There is an out-of-bounds read possible when parsing gitattributes that
have an attribute that is 2^31+1 bytes long. This is caused due to an
integer overflow when we assign the result of strlen(3P) to an `int`,
where we use the wrapped-around value in a subsequent call to
memcpy(3P). The following code reproduces the issue:

    blob=$(perl -e 'print "a" x 2147483649 . " attr"' | git hash-object -w --stdin)
    git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes
    git check-attr --all file

It is possible to trigger an integer overflow when parsing attribute
names when there are more than 2^31 of them for a single pattern. This
can either lead to us dying due to trying to request too many bytes:

     blob=$(perl -e 'print "f" . " a=" x 2147483649' | git hash-object -w --stdin)
     git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes

Or, much worse, it can lead to an out-of-bounds write because we
underallocate and then memcpy(3P) into an array:

Fix this bug by using `size_t` instead to count the number of attributes
so that this value cannot reasonably overflow without running out of
memory before already.

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1)
we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string
lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily
overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to
an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P):

The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the
`export-subst` attribute. So this is what in our opinion makes this a
critical issue in the context of Git forges which allow to download an
archive of user supplied Git repositories.

Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the
string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is
compiled with the address sanitizer.

With the `%>>(<N>)` pretty formatter, you can ask git-log(1) et al to
steal spaces. To do so we need to look ahead of the next token to see
whether there are spaces there. This loop takes into account ANSI
sequences that end with an `m`, and if it finds any it will skip them
until it finds the first space. While doing so it does not take into
account the buffer's limits though and easily does an out-of-bounds
read.

Add a test that hits this behaviour. While we don't have an easy way to
verify this, the test causes the following failure when run with
`SANITIZE=address`:

Luckily enough, this would only cause us to copy the out-of-bounds data
into the formatted commit in case we really had an ANSI sequence
preceding our buffer. So this bug likely has no security consequences.

Fix it regardless by not traversing past the buffer's start.

An out-of-bounds read can be triggered when parsing an incomplete
padding format string passed via `--pretty=format` or in Git archives
when files are marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

This bug exists since we have introduced support for truncating output
via the `trunc` keyword a7f01c6 (pretty: support truncating in %>, %<
and %><, 2013-04-19). Before this commit, we used to find the end of the
formatting string by using strchr(3P). This function returns a `NULL`
pointer in case the character in question wasn't found. The subsequent
check whether any character was found thus simply checked the returned
pointer. After the commit we switched to strcspn(3P) though, which only
returns the offset to the first found character or to the trailing NUL
byte. As the end pointer is now computed by adding the offset to the
start pointer it won't be `NULL` anymore, and as a consequence the check
doesn't do anything anymore.

The out-of-bounds data that is being read can in fact end up in the
formatted string. As a consequence, it is possible to leak memory
contents either by calling git-log(1) or via git-archive(1) when any of
the archived files is marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

Add a test which catches this out-of-bounds read and which demonstrates

The return type of both `utf8_strwidth()` and `utf8_strnwidth()` is
`int`, but we operate on string lengths which are typically of type
`size_t`. This means that when the string is longer than `INT_MAX`, we
will overflow and thus return a negative result.

This can lead to an out-of-bounds write with `--pretty=format:%<1)%B`
and a commit message that is 2^31+1 bytes long:

Now the proper fix for this would be to convert both functions to return
an `size_t` instead of an `int`. But given that this commit may be part
of a security release, let's instead do the minimal viable fix and die
in case we see an overflow.

Add a test that would have previously caused us to crash.

When "update-index --unresolve $path" cannot find the resolve-undo
record for the path the user requested to unresolve, it stuffs the
blobs from HEAD and MERGE_HEAD to stage #2 and stage #3 as a
fallback.  For this reason, the operation does not even start unless
both "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD" exist.

This is suboptimal in a few ways:

 * It does not recreate stage #1.  Even though it is a correct
   design decision not to do so (because it is impossible to
   recreate in general cases, without knowing how we got there,
   including what merge strategy was used), it is much less useful
   not to have that information in the index.

 * It limits the "unresolve" operation only during a conflicted "git
   merge" and nothing else.  Other operations like "rebase",
   "cherry-pick", and "switch -m" may result in conflicts, and the
   user may want to unresolve the conflict that they incorrectly
   resolved in order to redo the resolution, but the fallback would
   not kick in.

 * Most importantly, the entire "unresolve" operation is disabled
   after a conflicted merge is committed and MERGE_HEAD is removed,
   even though the index has perfectly usable resolve-undo records.

By lazily reading the HEAD and MERGE_HEAD only when we need to go to
the fallback codepath, we will allow cases where resolve-undo
records are available (which is 100% of the time, unless the user is
reading from an index file created by Git more than 10 years ago) to
proceed even after a conflicted merge was committed, during other
mergy operations that do not use MERGE_HEAD, or after the result of
such mergy operations has been committed.

The helper function is responsible for inspecting the index and
deciding if the path is merged, is conflicted in a way that we would
want to handle, or is conflicted in a way that we cannot handle.

Currently, only conflicts with both stage #2 and stage #3 are
handled, but eventually we would want to be able to deal with
delete-modify conflicts (i.e. only one of stages #2 and #3 exist).
Streamline the implementation of the function to make it easier to
extend.

It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current
directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git
sparse-checkout.  However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using
them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion:

Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories.

For
    git sparse-checkout add
we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse
checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present
in the current working tree.  Providing the files and directories
currently present is thus always wrong.

For
    git sparse-checkout set
we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are
trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already
have.  That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often
does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for
years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via
    git sparse-checkout init
    git sparse-checkout set <args...>
(or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time).
The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the
top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to
expand the checkout.  Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases
would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion
be appropriate.

Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly.

If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then
the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is
problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead.

Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths.

Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the
repository, especially when listing individual files.  There are a
number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages
them to do so (as noted above).  However, if users do so (via adding a
leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the
leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the
repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem.
That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if
it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong.

Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly.

There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with
sparse-checkouts.  There is only a single worktree-global
$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file.  As such, paths to files must be
specified relative to the toplevel of a repository.  Providing
suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory,
as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working
directory is not the worktree toplevel directory.

Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly

The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths.  While
most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would
be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a
leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need
special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[',
']', and any leading '#' or '!'.  If completion suggests any such paths,
users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than
as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1.

Because of the combination of the above issues, turn completion off for
the `set` and `add` subcommands of `sparse-checkout` when in non-cone
mode, but leave a NEEDSWORK comment specifying what could theoretically
be done if someone wanted to provide completion rules that were more
helpful than harmful.

However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are
using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in
the index.  As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted
pattern that matches such a file.  For example, if they type:
   git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB>
we could "complete" to
   git sparse-checkout add /Makefile
or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory:
   git sparse-checkout add m<TAB>
we could "complete" it to:
   git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt
Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add
characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are
kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND
beginnings".

The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we
not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings
of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need
to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote
or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some
characters.  The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly;
this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we
decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the
common cases right.

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 32 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
    Aborted

What happens is this:

  0. We construct a bogus pack with a duplicate object in it and trigger
     index-pack.

  1. We spawn a bunch of worker threads to resolve deltas (on my system
     it is 16 threads).

  2. One of the threads sees the duplicate object and bails by calling
     exit(), taking down all of the threads. This is expected and is the
     point of the test.

  3. At the time exit() is called, we may still be spawning threads from
     the main process via pthread_create(). LSan hooks thread creation
     to update its book-keeping; it has to know where each thread's
     stack is (so it can find entry points for reachable memory). So it
     calls pthread_getattr_np() to get information about the new thread.
     That may allocate memory that must be freed with a matching call to
     pthread_attr_destroy(). Probably LSan does that immediately, but
     if you're unlucky enough, the exit() will happen while it's between
     those two calls, and the allocated pthread_attr_t appears as a
     leak.

This isn't a real leak. It's not even in our code, but rather in the
LSan instrumentation code. So we could just ignore it. But the false
positive can cause people to waste time tracking it down.

It's possibly something that LSan could protect against (e.g., cover the
getattr/destroy pair with a mutex, and then in the final post-exit()
check for leaks try to take the same mutex). But I don't know enough
about LSan to say if that's a reasonable approach or not (or if my
analysis is even completely correct).

In the meantime, it's pretty easy to avoid the race by making creation
of the worker threads "atomic". That is, we'll spawn all of them before
letting any of them start to work. That's easy to do because we already
have a work_lock() mutex for handing out that work. If the main process
takes it, then all of the threads will immediately block until we've
finished spawning and released it.

This shouldn't make any practical difference for non-LSan runs. The
thread spawning is quick, and could happen before any worker thread gets
scheduled anyway.

Probably other spots that use threads are subject to the same issues.
But since we have to manually insert locking (and since this really is
kind of a hack), let's not bother with them unless somebody experiences
a similar racy false-positive in practice.

When performing multi-pack reuse, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
is responsible for generating an array of bitmapped_pack structs from
which to perform reuse.

In the multi-pack case, we loop over the MIDXs packs and copy the result
of calling `nth_bitmapped_pack()` to construct the list of reusable
paths.

But we may also want to do pack-reuse over a single pack, either because
we only had one pack to perform reuse over (in the case of single-pack
bitmaps), or because we explicitly asked to do single pack reuse even
with a MIDX[^1].

When this is the case, the array we generate of reusable packs contains
only a single element, which is either (a) the pack attached to the
single-pack bitmap, or (b) the MIDX's preferred pack.

In 795006f (pack-bitmap: gracefully handle missing BTMP chunks,
2024-04-15), we refactored the reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
function and stopped assigning the pack_int_id field when reusing only
the MIDX's preferred pack. This results in an uninitialized read down in
try_partial_reuse() like so:

    ==7474==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
    #0 0x55c5cd191dde in try_partial_reuse pack-bitmap.c:1887:8
    #1 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap_1 pack-bitmap.c:2001:8
    #2 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap pack-bitmap.c:2105:3

    #6 0x55c5ccc8fac8 in run_builtin git.c:474:11

which happens when try_partial_reuse() tries to call
midx_pair_to_pack_pos() when it tries to reject cross-pack deltas.

Avoid the uninitialized read by ensuring that the pack_int_id field is
set in the single-pack reuse case by setting it to either the MIDX
preferred pack's pack_int_id, or '-1', in the case of single-pack
bitmaps.  In the latter case, we never read the pack_int_id field, so
the choice of '-1' is intentional as a "garbage in, garbage out"
measure.

Guard against further regressions in this area by adding a test which
ensures that we do not throw out deltas from the preferred pack as
"cross-pack" due to an uninitialized pack_int_id.

[^1]: This can happen for a couple of reasons, either because the
  repository is configured with 'pack.allowPackReuse=(true|single)', or
  because the MIDX was generated prior to the introduction of the BTMP
  chunk, which contains information necessary to perform multi-pack
  reuse.

Memory sanitizer (msan) is detecting a use of an uninitialized variable
(`size`) in `read_attr_from_index`:

The issue exists because `size` is an output parameter from
`read_blob_data_from_index`, but it's only modified if
`read_blob_data_from_index` returns non-NULL. The read of `size` when
calling `read_attr_from_buf` unconditionally may read from an
uninitialized value. `read_attr_from_buf` checks that `buf` is non-NULL
before reading from `size`, but by then it's already too late: the
uninitialized read will have happened already. Furthermore, there's no
guarantee that the compiler won't reorder things so that it checks
`size` before checking `!buf`.

Make the call to `read_attr_from_buf` conditional on `buf` being
non-NULL, ensuring that `size` is not read if it's never set.

It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.

Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.

One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.

The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table
from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when
calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close
them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore.

Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.

The incremental MIDX bitmap work was done prior to 9d4855e
(midx-write: fix leaking buffer, 2024-09-30), and causes test failures
in t5334 in a post-9d4855eef3 world.

The leak looks like:

    Direct leak of 264 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

, and is a result of us not freeing the resources corresponding to the
bitmap's base layer, if one was present.

Rectify that leak by calling the newly-introduced free_bitmap_index()
function on the base layer to ensure that its resources are also freed.
