Whenever we create a commit object via lookup_commit, we
give it a unique index to be used with the commit-slab API.
The theory is that any "struct commit" we create would
follow this code path, so any such struct would get an
index. However, callers could use alloc_commit_node()
directly (and get multiple commits with index 0).
Let's push the indexing into alloc_commit_node so that it's
hard for callers to get it wrong.

When 2c1cbec (Use proper object allocators for unknown
object nodes too, 2007-04-16), added a special "any_object"
allocator, it never taught alloc_report to report on it. To
do so we need to add an extra type argument to the REPORT
macro, as that commit did for DEFINE_ALLOCATOR.

In the spirit of v1.5.0.2~21 (Check for PRIuMAX rather than
NO_C99_FORMAT in fast-import.c, 2007-02-20), use PRIuMAX from
git-compat-util.h on all platforms instead of C99-specific formats
like %zu with dangerous fallbacks to %u or %lu.
So now C99-challenged platforms can build git without provoking
warnings or errors from printf, even if pointers do not have the same
size as an int or long.
The need for a fallback PRIuMAX is detected in git-compat-util.h with
"#ifndef PRIuMAX". So while at it, simplify the Makefile and configure
script by eliminating the NO_C99_FORMAT knob altogether.

This replaces the fairly odd "created_object()" function that did _most_
of the object setup with a more complete "create_object()" function that
also has a more natural calling convention.

We used to use a different allocator scheme for when we didn't know the
object type. That meant that objects that were created without any
up-front knowledge of the type would not go through the same allocation
paths as normal object allocations, and would miss out on the statistics.
But perhaps more importantly than the statistics (that are useful when
looking at memory usage but not much else), if we want to make the
object hash tables use a denser object pointer representation, we need
to make sure that they all go through the same blocking allocator.

The NO_C99_FORMAT macro allows compilers that lack support for the
ll,hh,j,z,t size specifiers (eg. gcc 2.95.2) to adapt the code to avoid
runtime errors in the formatted IO functions.

This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.
This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.
It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:
blobs: 627629 (14710 kB)
trees: 1119035 (34969 kB)
commits: 196423 (8440 kB)
tags: 1336 (46 kB)
and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.
[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.
Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).
I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
need to.
So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
amount. ]
