libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by
`git_buf`.  We require:

1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs
   for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc).
2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they
   can take ownership of.

By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have
confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and
reasoning about correctness is also difficult.

Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents
its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class.  The name also
is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr").

The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint.  It
is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that
follow the documentation.  (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to
avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.)

Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a
`git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it
back again.

Make some syntax change to follow coding style.

Let `git_path_find_dir` simply take a `git_buf` that contains a
directory or a file, instead of trying to both join a path AND then deal
with prettifying it or its basename.  This allows consumers to join
paths themselves (and apply any necessary rules - like fitting within
MAX_PATH).

Introduce `git_path_validate_filesystem` which validates (absolute) on-disk
paths and `git_path_validate_workdir` to perform validations on (absolute)
working directory paths.  These functions are useful as there may be system
limitations on on-disk paths, particularly on Windows (for example,
enforcing MAX_PATH).

For working directory paths, these limitations may be per-repository, based
on the `core.longpaths` configuration setting.

If we want to validate more and different types of paths, the name
`git_path_validate` makes that easier and more expressive.  We can add,
for example, `git_path_validate_foo` while the current name makes that
less ergonomic.

When the VirtualStore feature is in effect, it is safe to let random
users write into C:\ProgramData because other users won't see those
files. This seemed to be the case when we introduced support for
C:\ProgramData\Git\config.

However, when that feature is not in effect (which seems to be the case
in newer Windows 10 versions), we'd rather not use those files unless
they come from a trusted source, such as an administrator.

This change imitates the strategy chosen by PowerShell's native OpenSSH
port to Windows regarding host key files: if a system file is owned
neither by an administrator, a system account, or the current user, it
is ignored.

When initializing a repository, we need to check whether its working
directory supports symlinks to correctly set the initial value of the
"core.symlinks" config variable. The code to check the filesystem is
reusable in other parts of our codebase, like for example in our tests
to determine whether certain tests can be expected to succeed or not.

Extract the code into a new function `git_path_supports_symlinks` to
avoid duplicate implementations. Remove a duplicate implementation in
the repo test helper code.

These checks are preformed by libgit2 on checkout, but they're also useful for
performing checks in applications which do not involve checkout.

Expose them under `sys/` as it's still fairly in the weeds even for this
library.

Right now, there's quite a lot of different function calls to determine
whether a path component matches a specific name after normalization
from the filesystem. We have a function for each of {gitattributes,
gitmodules, gitignore} multiplicated with {generic, NTFS, HFS} checks.
In the long time, this is unmaintainable in case there are e.g. new
filesystems with specific semantics, blowing up the number of functions
we need to implement.

Replace all functions with a simple `git_path_is_gitfile` function,
which accepts an enum pointing out the filename that is to be checked
against as well as the filesystem normalizations to check for. This
greatly simplifies implementation at the expense of the caller having to
invoke a somewhat longer function call.
