Recently generating the version-def.h file and the config-list.h
file have been updated, which broke versions of "sed" that do not
want to be fed a file that ends with an incomplete line, and/or that
do not understand the more recent "-E" option to use extended
regular expression.
Fix them in response to a build-failure reported on Solaris boxes.

Since 6547d1c9 (bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap
functions, 2025-04-23) tweaked the way the bswap32/64 macros are
defined, on platforms with __builtin_bswap32/64 supported, the
bswap32/64 macros are defined even on big endian platforms.
However the rest of this file assumes that bswap32/64() are defined
ONLY on little endian machines and uses that assumption to redefine
ntohl/ntohll macros. The said commit broke t4014-format-patch.sh test,
among many others on s390x.
Revert the commit.

• Replace with phrases that are more standard (“all-or-nothing”
instead of “-none”)
• Add coordinating words that make it less likely for you to trip
over the sentence (“*that* "gc" can do”)
• Use “SMTP” instead of both SMTP and smtp
• Don’t mention `git fsck --reference` since the previous release
was not affected by this minor bug. Also say “errored out” since
the git-refs(1) bug was there in v2.48.0 as well
• Use the more widespread “linked” instead of “secondary worktree”

It is quite helpful to know what Coverity said, exactly, in case it
fails to analyze the code.

When I added the Coverity workflow in a56b6230d0 (ci: add a GitHub
workflow to submit Coverity scans, 2023-09-25), I merely converted an
Azure Pipeline definition that had been running successfully for ages.
In the meantime, the current Coverity documentation describes a very
different way to install the analysis tool, recommending to add the
`bin/` directory to the _end_ of `PATH` (when originally, IIRC, it was
recommended to add it to the _beginning_ of the `PATH`).
This is crucial! The reason is that the current incarnation of the
Windows variant of Coverity's analysis tools come with a _lot_ of DLL
files in their `bin/` directory, some of them interferring rather badly
with the `gcc.exe` in Git for Windows' SDK that we use to run the
Coverity build. The symptom is a cryptic error message:
make: *** [Makefile:2960: headless-git.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
D:\git-sdk-64-minimal\mingw64\bin\windres.exe: preprocessing failed.
make: *** [Makefile:2679: git.res] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:2893: git.o] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:2893: builtin/add.o] Error 1

****************************************************
Warning: Build command make.exe exited with code 2. Please verify that the build completed successfully.
Warning: Emitted 0 C/C++ compilation units (0%) successfully

For more details, please look at:
D:/a/git/git/cov-int/build-log.txt
The log (which the workflow is currently not configured to reveal) then
points out that the `windows.h` header cannot be found, which is _still_
not very helpful. The underlying root cause is that the `gcc.exe` in Git
for Windows' SDK determines the location of the header files via the
location of certain DLL files, and finding the "wrong" ones first on the
`PATH` misleads that logic.
Let's fix this problem by following Coverity's current recommendation
and append the `bin/` directory in which `cov-int` can be found to the
_end_ of `PATH`.

In pack-bitmap.c:find_boundary_objects(), the roots_bitmap is only freed
if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() fails. However, cascade_pseudo_merges_1()
uses roots_bitmap as a mutable reference without taking ownership of it.
As a result, if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() succeeds, roots_bitmap is leaked.
And this leak currently lacks a dedicated test to detect it.
To fix this leak, remove if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() succeed check and
always calling bitmap_free(roots_bitmap);
To trigger this leak, we need roots_bitmap that contains at least one
pseudo merge. So that we can use pseudo merge bitmap when we compute roots
reachable bitmap. Here we create two commits: first A then B. Add A
to the pseudo-merge and perform a traversal over the range A..B.
In this scenario, the "haves" set will be {A}, and cascade_pseudo_merges_1
will succeed, thereby exposing the leak due to the missing roots_bitmap
cleanup.

In builtin/submodule--helper.c:update_submodule(), the variable
remote_name is allocated in get_default_remote_submodule() but
may be leaked if remote_submodule_branch() fails. Although it is
unlikely that remote_submodule_branch() would fail after successfully
obtaining a remote ref name from get_default_remote_submodule(),
it is still possible. To prevent a potential memory leak, add a
call to free(remote_name) at the early exit point.
