A common pattern to check N attributes for many paths is to
(1) prepare an array A of N attr_check_item items;
(2) call git_attr() to intern the N attribute names and fill A;
(3) repeatedly call git_check_attrs() for path with N and A;
A look-up for these N attributes for a single path P scans the
entire attr_stack, starting from the .git/info/attributes file and
then .gitattributes file in the directory the path P is in, going
upwards to find .gitattributes file found in parent directories.
An earlier commit 06a604e6 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the
specified attr is not defined, 2014-12-28) tried to optimize out
this scanning for one trivial special case: when the attribute being
sought is known not to exist, we do not have to scan for it. While
this may be a cheap and effective heuristic, it would not work well
when N is (much) more than 1.
What we would want is a more customized way to skip irrelevant
entries in the attribute stack, and the definition of irrelevance
is tied to the set of attributes passed to git_check_attrs() call,
i.e. the set of attributes being sought. The data necessary for
this optimization needs to live alongside the set of attributes, but
a simple array of git_attr_check_elem simply does not have any place
for that.
Introduce "struct attr_check" that contains N, the number of
attributes being sought, and A, the array that holds N
attr_check_item items, and a function git_check_attr() that
takes a path P and this structure as its parameters. This structure
can later be extended to hold extra data necessary for optimization.
Also, to make it easier to write the first two steps in common
cases, introduce git_attr_check_initl() helper function, which takes
a NULL-terminated list of attribute names and initialize this
structure.

The traditional API to check attributes is to prepare an N-element
array of "struct git_attr_check" and pass N and the array to the
function "git_check_attr()" as arguments.
In preparation to revamp the API to pass a single structure, in
which these N elements are held, rename the type used for these
individual array elements to "struct attr_check_item" and rename
the function to "git_check_attrs()".

There are too many repetitious "I have this new attr_stack element;
push it at the top of the stack" sequence. The new helper function
push_stack() gives us a way to express what is going on at these
places, and as a side effect, halves the number of times we mention
the attr_stack global variable.

If any error is noticed after the match_attr structure is allocated,
we shouldn't just return NULL from this function.
Add a fail_return label that frees the allocated structure and
returns NULL, and consistently jump there when we want to return
NULL after cleaning up.

The double-loop wants to do an early return immediately when one
matching macro is found. Eliminate the extra variable 'a' used for
that purpose and rewrite the "assign the found item to 'a' to make
it non-NULL and force the loop(s) to terminate" with a direct return
from there.

When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.
We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.
Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

We could rely on atexit() to clean up everything, but let's be

This function should not affect the successful case because after
commit_lock_file() is called, rollback_lock_file() becomes no-op,
as long as it is initialized.
