This changes the test-path-utils utility to invoke normalize_path_copy()
instead of normalize_absolute_path() because the latter is about to be
removed.
The test cases in t0060 are adjusted in two regards:
- normalize_path_copy() more often leaves a trailing slash in the result.
This has no negative side effects because the new user of this function,
longest_ancester_length(), already accounts for this behavior.
- The function can fail.
The tests uncover a flaw in normalize_path_copy(): If there are
sufficiently many '..' path components so that the root is reached, such as
in "/d1/s1/../../d2", then the leading slash was lost. This manifested
itself that (assuming there is a repository at /tmp/foo)
$ git add /d1/../tmp/foo/some-file
reported 'pathspec is outside repository'. This is now fixed.
Moreover, the test case descriptions of t0060 now include the test data and
expected outcome.

Previously, this test utility happily returned with exit code 0 if garbage
was thrown at it. Now it reports failure if an unknown function name was
given on the command line.

When normalizing an absolute path, we might have to add a slash _and_ a
NUL to the buffer, so the buffer was one too small.
Let's just future proof the code and alloc PATH_MAX + 1 bytes.

Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.
For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

normalize_absolute_path removes several oddities form absolute paths,
giving nice clean paths like "/dir/sub1/sub2". Also add a test case
for this utility, based on a new test program (in the style of test-sha1).
