OAuth2.0 is a new authentication method that is being used by many email
providers, including Outlook and Gmail. Recently, the Authen::SASL perl
module has been updated to support OAuth2.0 authentication, thus making
the git-send-email script be able to use this authentication method as
well. So lets improve the documentation to reflect this change.
I also had a hard time finding a reliable OAuth2.0 access token
generator for Outlook and Gmail. So I added a link to the such
generators which I developed myself after seaching through lots of code
and API documentation to make things easier for others.

When users want to enable the latest and greatest configuration options
recommended by Scalar after a Git upgrade, 'scalar reconfigure --all' is
a great option that iterates over all repos in the multi-valued
'scalar.repos' config key.
However, this feature previously forced users to enable background
maintenance. In some environments this is not preferred.
Add a new --maintenance=<mode> option to 'scalar reconfigure' that
provides options for enabling (default), disabling, or leaving
background maintenance config as-is.

When creating a new enlistment via 'scalar clone', the default is to set
up situations that work for most user scenarios. Background maintenance
is one of those highly-recommended options for most users.
However, when using 'scalar clone' to create an enlistment in a
different situation, such as prepping a VM image, it may be valuable to
disable background maintenance so the manual maintenance steps do not
get blocked by concurrent background maintenance activities.
Add a new --no-maintenance option to 'scalar clone'.

When registering a repository with Scalar to get the latest opinionated
configuration, the 'scalar register' command will also set up background
maintenance. This is a recommended feature for most user scenarios.
However, this is not always recommended in some scenarios where
background modifications may interfere with foreground activities.
Specifically, setting up a clone for use in automation may require doing
certain maintenance steps in the foreground that could become blocked by
concurrent background maintenance operations.
Allow the user to specify --no-maintenance to 'scalar register'. This
requires updating the method prototype for register_dir(), so use the
default of enabling this value when otherwise specified.

When downloading bundles via the bundle-uri functionality, we only copy the
references from refs/heads into the refs/bundle space. I'm not sure why this
refspec is hardcoded to be so limited, but it makes the ref negotiation on
the subsequent fetch suboptimal, since it won't use objects that are
referenced outside of the current heads of the bundled repository.
This change to copy everything in refs/ in the bundle to refs/bundles/
significantly helps the subsequent fetch, since nearly all the references
are now included in the negotiation.
The update to the bundle-uri unbundling refspec puts all the heads from a
bundle file into refs/bundle/heads instead of directly into refs/bundle/ so
the tests also need to be updated to look in the new heirarchy.

With the preceding commit, `OPT_INTEGER()` has learned to support unit
factors. Consequently, the major differencen between `OPT_INTEGER()` and
`OPT_MAGNITUDE()` isn't the support of unit factors anymore, as both of
them do support them now. Instead, the difference is that one handles
signed and the other handles unsigned integers.
Adapt the name of `OPT_MAGNITUDE()` accordingly by renaming it to
`OPT_UNSIGNED()`.

There are two main differences between `OPT_INTEGER()` and
`OPT_MAGNITUDE()`:
- The former parses signed integers whereas the latter parses unsigned
integers.
- The latter parses unit factors like 'k', 'm' or 'g'.
While the first difference makes obvious sense, there isn't really a
good reason why signed integers shouldn't support unit factors, too.
This inconsistency will also become a bit of a problem with subsequent
commits, where we will fix a couple of callsites that pass an unsigned
integer to `OPT_INTEGER()`. There are three options:
- We could adapt those users to instead pass a signed integer, but
this would needlessly extend the range of accepted integer values.
- We could convert them to use `OPT_MAGNITUDE()`, as it only accepts
unsigned integers. But now we have the inconsistency that we also
start to accept unit factors.
- We could introduce `OPT_UNSIGNED()` as equivalent to `OPT_INTEGER()`
so that it knows to only accept unsigned integers without unit
suffix.
Introducing a whole new option type feels a bit excessive. There also
isn't really a good reason why `OPT_INTEGER()` cannot be extended to
also accept unit factors: all valid values passed to such options cannot
have a unit factors right now, so there wouldn't be any ambiguity.
Refactor `OPT_INTEGER()` to use `git_parse_int()`, which knows to
interpret unit factors. This removes the inconsistency between the
signed and unsigned options so that we can easily fix up callsites that
pass the wrong integer type right now.

Some preprocessor -Defines have defaults set in the source code when
they have not been provided to the C compiler. In this case, there is
no need to pass them on the command-line, unless the build requires a
non-standard value.
The build variables for DEFAULT_EDITOR and DEFAULT_PAGER have appropriate
defaults ('vi' and 'less') set in the code. Add the preprocessor -Defines
to the 'libgit_c_args' only if the values set with the corresponding
'options' are different to these standard values.
Also, the 'git-var' documentation contains some conditional text which
documents the chosen compiled in value, which would not read well for
the standard values. Similar to the above, only add the corresponding
'-a' attribute arguments to the 'asciidoc_common_options' variable, if
the values set in the 'options' are different to these standard values.

The "cmd-list.perl" script is used to extract the list of commands part
of a specific category and extracts the description of each command from
its respective manpage. The generated output is then included in git(1)
to list all Git commands.
The script is written in Perl. Refactor it to use shell scripting
exclusively so that we can get rid of the mandatory dependency on Perl
to build our documentation.
The converted script is slower compared to its Perl implementation. But
by being careful and not spawning external commands in `format_one ()`
we can mitigate the performance hit to a reasonable level:
Benchmark 1: Perl
Time (mean ± σ): 10.3 ms ± 0.2 ms [User: 7.0 ms, System: 3.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 10.0 ms … 11.1 ms 200 runs
Benchmark 2: Shell
Time (mean ± σ): 74.4 ms ± 0.4 ms [User: 48.6 ms, System: 24.7 ms]
Range (min … max): 73.1 ms … 75.5 ms 200 runs
Summary
Perl ran
7.23 ± 0.13 times faster than Shell
While a sevenfold slowdown is significant, the benefit of not requiring
Perl for a fully-functioning Git installation outweighs waiting a couple
of milliseconds longer during the build process.
