gitglossary documents Git pathspecs. One type of pathspec is the "glob"
pathspec, prefixed with the magic word "glob".
Regarding glob pathspecs, gitglossary says, '"**/foo" matches file or
directory "foo" anywhere, the same as pattern "foo".' That last phrase
('the same as pattern "foo") is incorrect. "**/foo" and "foo" are not
equivalent. "**/foo" matches foo anywhere, but "foo" does not.
This change removes the incorrect phrase from the glob pathspec doc.

The `git pack-refs --auto` flag asks the ref backend to decide for
itself whether or not references need to be repacked. This is done to
ensure that we don't repack in cases where the backend is already in a
good-enough state, which is typically the case for the "reftable"
backend that performs auto-compaction on writes.
As such, we initially only had heuristics in place for the "reftable"
backend. The "files" backend didn't have any heuristics, so we'd repack
loose references every time `git pack-refs --auto` was executed. This
caused excessive repacking with that backend though, which is why we
eventually implemented a heuristic via c3459ae9ef (refs/files: use
heuristic to decide whether to repack with `--auto`, 2024-09-04).
The documentation for the `--auto` flag hasn't been updated accordingly
and still claims that we don't have any metrics for the "files" backend.
Update it to reflect the new reality.

For all the formats in the form of %(foo), the formatting needs to be
heavier because we not want the parentheses to be rendered as syntax
elements,but as keywords, i.e. we need to circumvent the syntax highlighting
of synopsis. In this particular case, this requires the heavy escaping of
the parts that contain parentheses with ++.

With the preceding commit we have announced the switch to the "reftable"
format in Git 3.0 for newly created repositories. The format is being
battle tested by GitLab and a couple of other developers, and except for
a small handful of issues exposed early after it has been merged it has
been rock solid. Regardless of that though the test user base is still
comparatively small, which increases the risk that we miss critical
bugs.
Address this by enabling the reftable format when experimental features
are enabled. This should increase the test user base by some margin and
thus give us more input before making the format the default.

The "reftable" format has come a long way and has matured nicely since
it has been merged into git via 57db2a094d (refs: introduce reftable
backend, 2024-02-07). It fixes longstanding issues that cannot be fixed
with the "files" format in a backwards-compatible way and performs
significantly better in many use cases.
Announce that we will switch to the "reftable" format in Git 3.0 for
newly created repositories and wire up the change, hidden behind the
WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES preprocessor define.
This switch is dependent on support in the larger Git ecosystem. Most
importantly, libraries like JGit, libgit2 and Gitoxide should support
the reftable backend so that we don't break all applications and tools
built on top of those libraries.

Rename `read_object_with_reference()` to `odb_read_object_peeled()` to
match other functions related to the object database and our modern
coding guidelines. Furthermore though, the old name didn't really
describe very well what this function actually does, which is to walk
down any commit and tag objects until an object of the required type has
been found. This is generally referred to as "peeling", so the new name
should be way more descriptive.
No compatibility wrapper is introduced as the function is not used a lot
throughout our codebase.
