interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameter
interpret_branch_name gets passed a "name" buffer to parse, along with a "namelen" parameter representing its length. If "namelen" is zero, we fallback to the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". However, it does not necessarily follow that if we have gotten a non-zero "namelen", it is the NUL-terminated string-length of "name". E.g., when get_sha1() is parsing "foo:bar", we will be asked to operate only on the first three characters. Yet in interpret_branch_name and its helpers, we use string functions like strchr() to operate on "name", looking past the length we were given. This can result in us mis-parsing object names. We should instead be limiting our search to "namelen" bytes. There are three distinct types of object names this patch addresses: - The intrepret_empty_at helper uses strchr to find the next @-expression after our potential empty-at. In an expression like "@:foo@bar", it erroneously thinks that the second "@" is relevant, even if we were asked only to look at the first character. This case is easy to trigger (and we test it in this patch). - When finding the initial @-mark for @{upstream}, we use strchr. This means we might treat "foo:@{upstream}" as the upstream for "foo:", even though we were asked only to look at "foo". We cannot test this one in practice, because it is masked by another bug (which is fixed in the next patch). - The interpret_nth_prior_checkout helper did not receive the name length at all. This turns out not to be a problem in practice, though, because its parsing is so limited: it always starts from the far-left of the string, and will not tolerate a colon (which is currently the only way to get a smaller-than-strlen "namelen"). However, it's still worth fixing to make the code more obviously correct, and to future-proof us against callers with more exotic buffers.
