Even with the newly-tightened "---" parser, it's still
possible for a commit message to trigger a false positive if
it contains something like "--- foo". If the caller knows
that it has only a single commit message, it can now tell us
with the "--no-divider" option, eliminating any false
positives.
If we were designing this from scratch, I'd probably make
this the default. But we've advertised the "---" behavior in
the documentation since interpret-trailers has existed.
Since it's meant to be scripted, breaking that would be a
bad idea.
Note that the logic is in the underlying trailer.c code,
which is used elsewhere. The default there will keep the
current behavior, but many callers will benefit from setting
this new option. That's left for future patches.

The interpret-trailers command accepts not only raw commit
messages, but it also can manipulate trailers in
format-patch output. That means it must find the "---"
boundary separating the commit message from the patch.
However, it does so by looking for any line starting with
"---", regardless of whether there is further content.
This is overly lax compared to the parsing done in
mailinfo.c's patchbreak(), and may cause false positives
(e.g., t/perf output tables uses dashes; if you cut and
paste them into your commit message, it fools the parser).
We could try to reuse patchbreak() here, but it actually has
several heuristics that are not of interest to us (e.g.,
matching "diff -" without a three-dash separator or even a
CVS "Index:" line). We're not interested in taking in
whatever random cruft people may send, but rather handling
git-formatted patches.
Note that the existing documentation was written in a loose
way, so technically we are changing the behavior from what
it said. But this should implement the original intent in a
more accurate way.

Most of the trailer code has an "opts" struct which is
filled in by the caller. We don't pass it down to
trailer_info_get(), which does the initial parsing, because
there hasn't yet been a need to do so.
Let's start passing it down in preparation for adding new
options. Note that there's a single caller which doesn't
otherwise have such an options struct. Since it's just one
caller (that we'd have to modify anyway), let's not bother
with any special treatment like accepting a NULL options
struct, and just have it allocate one with the defaults.

We store the length of the trailers list in a size_t. So on
a 64-bit system with a 32-bit int, in the unlikely case that
we manage to actually allocate a list with 2^31 entries,
we'd loop forever trying to iterate over it (our "int" would
wrap to negative before exceeding info->trailer_nr).
This probably doesn't matter in practice. Each entry is at
least a pointer plus a non-empty string, so even without
malloc overhead or the memory to hold the original string
we're parsing from, you'd need to allocate tens of
gigabytes. But it's easy enough to do it right.

Many of the string-parsing functions inside trailer.c return
integer offsets into the string (e.g., to point to the end
of the trailer block). Several of these use an "int" to
return or store the offsets. On a system where "size_t" is
much larger than "int" (e.g., most 64-bit ones), it's easy
to feed a gigantic commit message that results in a negative
offset. This can result in us reading memory before the
string (if the int is used as an index) or far after (if
it's implicitly cast to a size_t by passing to a strbuf
function).
Let's fix this by using size_t for all string offsets. Note
that several of the functions need ssize_t, since they use
"-1" as a sentinel value. The interactions here can be
pretty subtle. E.g., end_of_title in find_trailer_start()
does not itself need to be signed, but it is compared to the
result of last_line(), which is. That promotes the latter to
unsigned, and the ">=" does not behave as you might expect.

The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up
ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted.
That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this:
struct tempfile t;
create_tempfile(&t, ...);
...
if (!err)
rename_tempfile(&t, ...);
else
delete_tempfile(&t);
But doing it this way has a high potential for creating
memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile()
ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to
go out of scope until we've called one of those two
deactivation functions.
Imagine that we add an early return from the function that
forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap
tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs
around until the program exits (and some functions like
setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating
a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup).
But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory
error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with
garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's
see if we can make it harder to get this wrong.
Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of
tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general
solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask
all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the
burden on them to call free() at the right time.
Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap
allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is
deactivated and removed from the list).
This changes the return value of all of the creation
functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename),
we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a
tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it
to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to
double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second
call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites
follow this pattern.
The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each
caller needs to be converted to handle:
1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself.
2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct
address.
3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file
descriptor.
We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by
defining the tempfile like this:
struct tempfile {
struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile {
int fd;
...etc
} *actual_data;
}
Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it
would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL.
But that just makes things more awkward in the long run.
There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite
the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it
easy for us to find them all.

The parse_trailer function has a few modes of operation, all depending

separator's position. Some of these modes are failure modes, and these
failure modes are handled differently depending on whether the trailer
line was sourced from a file or from a command-line argument.
Extract a function to find the separator, allowing the invokers of
parse_trailer to determine how to handle the failure modes instead of
