transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode

* ts/unpacklimit-config-fix:
transfer.unpackLimit: fetch/receive.unpackLimit takes precedence
The transfer.unpackLimit configuration variable is documented to be
used only as a fallback value when the more operation-specific
fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit variables are not set, but
the implementation had the precedence reversed. Apparently this was
broken since the transfer.unpackLimit was introduced in e28714c5
(Consolidate {receive,fetch}.unpackLimit, 2007-01-24).
Often when documentation and code have diverged for so long, we
prefer to change the documentation instead, to avoid disrupting
users. But doing so would make these weirdly unlike most other
"specific overrides general" config options. And the fact that the
bug has existed for so long without anyone noticing implies to me
that nobody really tries to mix and match them much.

Many programs use diff_result_code() to get a user-visible program exit
code from a diff result (e.g., checking opts.found_changes if
--exit-code was requested).
This function also takes a "status" parameter, which seems at first
glance that it could be used to propagate an error encountered when
computing the diff. But it doesn't work that way:
- negative values are passed through as-is, but are not appropriate as
program exit codes
- when --exit-code or --check is in effect, we _ignore_ the passed-in
status completely. So a failed diff which did not have a chance to
set opts.found_changes would erroneously report "success, no
changes" instead of propagating the error.
After recent cleanups, neither of these bugs is possible to trigger, as
every caller just passes in "0". So rather than fixing them, we can
simply drop the useless parameter instead.

Since git-diff has many diff modes, it dispatches to many helpers to
perform each one. But every helper simply returns "0", as it exits
directly if there are serious errors (and options like --exit-code are
handled afterwards). So let's get rid of these useless return values,
which makes the code flow more clear.
There's very little chance that we'd later want to propagate errors
instead of dying immediately. These are all static-local helpers for the
git-diff program implementing its various modes. More "lib-ified" code
would directly call the underlying functions.

Neither of these functions ever returns a value other than zero.
Instead, they expect unrecoverable errors to exit immediately, and
things like "--exit-code" are stored inside the diff_options struct to
be handled later via diff_result_code().
Some callers do check the return values, but many don't bother. Let's
drop the useless return values, which are misleading callers about how
the functions work. This could be seen as a step in the wrong direction,
as we might want to eventually "lib-ify" these to more cleanly return
errors up the stack, in which case we'd have to add the return values
back in. But there are some benefits to doing this now:
1. In the current code, somebody could accidentally add a "return -1"
to one of the functions, which would be erroneously ignored by many
callers. By removing the return code, the compiler can notice the
mismatch and force the developer to decide what to do.
Obviously the other option here is that we could start consistently
checking the error code in every caller. But it would be dead code,
and we wouldn't get any compile-time help in catching new cases.
2. It communicates the situation to callers, who may want to choose a
different function. These functions are really thin wrappers for
doing git-diff-files and git-diff-index within the process. But
callers who care about recovering from an error here are probably
better off using the underlying library functions, many of
which do return errors.
If somebody eventually wants to teach these functions to propagate
errors, they'll have to switch back to returning a value, effectively
reverting this patch. But at least then they will be starting with a
level playing field: they know that they will need to inspect each
caller to see how it should handle the error.

When the git-diff program fails to read the index in its diff-files or
diff-index helper functions, it propagates the error up the stack. This
eventually lands in diff_result_code(), which does not handle it well
(as discussed in the previous patch).
Since the only sensible thing here is to exit with an error code (and
what we were expecting the propagated error code to cause), let's just
do that directly.
There's no test here, as I'm not even sure this case can be triggered.
The index-reading functions tend to die() themselves when encountering
any errors, and the return value is just the number of entries in the
file (and so always 0 or positive). But let's err on the conservative
side and keep checking the return value. It may be worth digging into as
a separate topic (though index-reading is low-level enough that we
probably want to eventually teach it to propagate errors anyway for
lib-ification purposes, at which point this code would already be doing
the right thing).

The git-diff command has many modes (comparing worktree to index, index
to HEAD, individual blobs, etc). As a result, it dispatches to many
helper functions and cannot completely parse its options until we're in
those helper functions.
Most of them, when seeing an unknown option, exit immediately by calling
usage(). But builtin_diff_files(), which is the default if no revision
or blob arguments are given, instead prints an error() and returns -1.
One obvious shortcoming here is that the user doesn't get to see the
usual usage message. But there's a much more important bug: the -1
return is fed to diff_result_code(), which is not ready to handle it.
By default, it passes the code along as an exit code. We try to avoid
negative exit codes because they get converted to unsigned values, but
it should at least consistently show up as non-zero (i.e., a failure).
But much worse is that when --exit-code is in effect, diff_result_code()
will _ignore_ the status passed in by the caller, and instead only
report on whether the diff found changes. It didn't, of course, because
we never ran the diff, and the program unexpectedly exits with success!
We can fix this bug by just calling usage(), like the other helpers do.
Another option would of course be to teach diff_result_code() to handle
this value. But as we'll see in the next few patches, it can be cleaned
up even further. Let's just fix this bug directly to start with.

If loading the index fails, we print an error and then return "-1" from
the function. But since this is a builtin, we end up with exit(-1),
which produces odd results since program exit codes are unsigned.
Because of integer conversion, it usually becomes 255, which is at least
still an error, but values above 128 are usually interpreted as signal
death.
Since we know the program is exiting immediately, we can just replace
the error return with a die().

Many callers of run_diff_index() passed literal "1" for the option
flag word, which should better be spelled out as DIFF_INDEX_CACHED
for readablity. Everybody else passes "0" that can stay as-is.
The other bit in the option flag word is DIFF_INDEX_MERGE_BASE, but
curiously there is only one caller that can pass it, which is "git
diff-index --merge-base" itself---no internal callers uses the
feature.
A bit tricky call to the function is in builtin/submodule--helper.c
where the .cached member in a private struct is set/reset as a plain
Boolean flag, which happens to be "1" and happens to match the value
of DIFF_INDEX_CACHED.

We switched the function interface for fsck callbacks in a1aad71601
(fsck.h: use "enum object_type" instead of "int", 2021-03-28). However,
we accidentally flipped the type back to "int" as part of 0b4e9013f1
(fsck: mark unused parameters in various fsck callbacks, 2023-07-03).
The mistake happened because that commit was written before a1aad71601
and rebased forward, and I screwed up while resolving the conflict.
Curiously, the compiler does not warn about this mismatch, at least not
when using gcc and clang on Linux (nor in any of our CI environments).
Based on 28abf260a5 (builtin/fsck.c: don't conflate "int" and "enum" in
callback, 2021-06-01), I'd guess that this would cause the AIX xlc
compiler to complain. I noticed because clang-18's UBSan now identifies
mis-matched function calls at runtime, and does complain of this case
when running the test suite.
I'm not entirely clear on whether this mismatch is a problem in
practice. Compilers are certainly free to make enums smaller than "int"
if they don't need the bits, but I suspect that they have to promote
back to int for function calls (though I didn't dig in the standard, and
I won't be surprised if I'm simply wrong and the real-world impact would
depend on the ABI).
Regardless, switching it back to enum is obviously the right thing to do
here; the switch to "int" was simply a mistake.

When moving a directory onto another with `git mv` various checks are
performed. One of of these validates that the destination is not existing.
When calling `lstat` on the destination path and it fails as the path
doesn't exist, some environments seem to overwrite the passed in
`stat` memory nonetheless (I observed this issue on debian 12 of x86_64,
running on OrbStack on ARM, emulated with Rosetta).
This would affect the code that followed as it would still acccess a now
modified `st` structure, which now seems to contain uninitialized memory.
`S_ISDIR(st_dir_mode)` would then typically return false causing the code
to run into a bad case.
The fix avoids overwriting the existing `st` structure, providing an
alternative that exists only for that purpose.

When the program is ending, we call clear_pack_geometry() to free any
resources in the pack_geometry struct. But the struct itself is
allocated on the heap, and leak-checkers will complain about the
resulting small leak.
This one was marked by Coverity as a "new" leak, though it has existed
since 0fabafd0b9 (builtin/repack.c: add '--geometric' option,
2021-02-22). This might be because recent unrelated changes in the file
confused it about what is new and what is not. But regardless, it is
worth addressing.
We can fix it easily by free-ing the struct. We'll convert our "clear"
function to "free", since the allocation happens in the matching init()
function (though since there is only one call to each, and the struct is
local to this file, it's mostly academic).
Another option would be to put the struct on the stack rather than the
heap. However, this gets tricky, as we check the pointer against NULL in
several places to decide whether we're in geometric mode.
