commit-graph: test for corrupted octopus edge
The commit-graph file has an extra chunk to store the parent int-ids for
parents beyond the first parent for octopus merges. Our test repo has a

commit-graph: verify generation number
While iterating through the commit parents, perform the generation
number calculation and compare against the value stored in the
commit-graph.
The tests demonstrate that having a different set of parents affects
the generation number calculation, and this value propagates to
descendants. Hence, we drop the single-line condition on the output.
Since Git will ship with the commit-graph feature without generation
numbers, we need to accept commit-graphs with all generation numbers
equal to zero. In this case, ignore the generation number calculation.
However, verify that we should never have a mix of zero and non-zero
generation numbers. Create a test that sets one commit to generation
zero and all following commits report a failure as they have non-zero
generation in a file that contains generation number zero.

Let's make sure we have data available before reading it,
both for the ewah header/footer as well as for the bit data
itself. In particular:
- keep our ptr/len pair in sync as we move through the
buffer, and check it before each read
- check the size for integer overflow (this should be
impossible on 64-bit, as the size is given as a 32-bit
count of 8-byte words, but is possible on a 32-bit
system)
- return the number of bytes read as an ssize_t instead of
an int, again to prevent integer overflow
- compute the return value using a pointer difference;
this should yield the same result as the existing code,
but makes it more obvious that we got our computations
right
The included test is far from comprehensive, as it just
picks a static point at which to truncate the generated
bitmap. But in practice this will hit in the middle of an

The Makefile tweak NO_ICONV is meant to allow Git to be built without

However, NO_ICONV's disabling of iconv is incomplete and can incorrectly
allow "-liconv" to slip into the linker flags when NEEDS_LIBICONV is

On some platforms, iconv lives directly in libc, whereas, on others it
resides in libiconv. For the latter case, NEEDS_LIBICONV instructs the
Makefile to add "-liconv" to the linker flags. config.mak.uname
automatically defines NEEDS_LIBICONV for platforms which require it.

git-p4: auto-size the block
git-p4 originally would fetch changes in one query. On large repos this
could fail because of the limits that Perforce imposes on the number of
items returned and the number of queries in the database.
To fix this, git-p4 learned to query changes in blocks of 512 changes,
However, this can be very slow - if you have a few million changes,
with each chunk taking about a second, it can be an hour or so.
Although it's possible to tune this value manually with the
"--changes-block-size" option, it's far from obvious to ordinary users
that this is what needs doing.
This change alters the block size dynamically by looking for the
specific error messages returned from the Perforce server, and reducing
the block size if the error is seen, either to the limit reported by the
server, or to half the current block size.
That means we can start out with a very large block size, and then let
it automatically drop down to a value that works without error, while
still failing correctly if some other error occurs.

git-p4: raise exceptions from p4CmdList based on error from p4 server
This change lays some groundwork for better handling of rowcount errors
from the server, where it fails to send us results because we requested
too many.
It adds an option to p4CmdList() to return errors as a Python exception.
The exceptions are derived from P4Exception (something went wrong),
P4ServerException (the server sent us an error code) and
P4RequestSizeException (we requested too many rows/results from the
server database).
This makes the code that handles the errors a bit easier.
The default behavior is unchanged; the new code is enabled with a flag.

git-p4: better error reporting when p4 fails
Currently when p4 fails to run, git-p4 just crashes with an obscure
error message.
For example, if the P4 ticket has expired, you get:
Error: Cannot locate perforce checkout of <path> in client view
This change checks whether git-p4 can talk to the Perforce server when
the first P4 operation is attempted, and tries to print a meaningful
error message if it fails.

git-p4: add option to disable syncing of p4/master with p4
Add an option to the git-p4 submit command to disable syncing
with Perforce.
This is useful for the case where a git-p4 mirror has been setup
on a server somewhere, running from (e.g.) cron, and developers
then clone from this. Having the local cloned copy also sync
from Perforce just isn't useful.

git-p4: disable-rebase: allow setting this via configuration
This just lets you set the --disable-rebase option with the
git configuration options git-p4.disableRebase. If you're
using this option, you probably want to set it all the time
for a given repo.
