Wire up a couple of benchmarking options that we end up writing into our
"GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS" file. These options allow users to control how
exactly benchmarks are executed.
Note that neither `GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND` nor `GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS` are
exposed as a build option. Those options are used by "t/perf/run", which
is not used by Meson.

Wire up benchmarks in Meson. The setup is mostly the same as how we wire
up our tests. The only difference is that benchmarks get wired up via
the `benchmark()` option instead of via `test()`, which gives them a bit
of special treatment:
- Benchmarks never run in parallel.
- Benchmarks aren't run by default when tests are executed.
- Meson does not inject the `MALLOC_PERTURB` environment variable.
Using benchmarks is quite simple:
```
$ meson setup build
# Run all benchmarks.
$ meson test -C build --benchmark
# Run a specific benchmark.
$ meson test -C build --benchmark p0000-*
```
Other than that the usual command line arguments accepted when running
tests are also accepted when running benchmarks.
Note that the benchmarking target is somewhat limited because it will
only run benchmarks for the current build. Other use cases, like running
benchmarks against multiple different versions of Git, are not currently
supported. Users should continue to use "t/perf/run" for those use
cases. The script should get extended at one point in time to support
Meson, but this is outside of the scope of this series.

The "perf-lib.sh" script is sourced by all of our benchmarking suites to
make available common infrastructure. The script assumes that build and
source directory are the same, which works for our Makefile. But the
assumption breaks with both CMake and Meson, where the build directory
can be located in an arbitrary place.
Adapt the script so that it works with out-of-tree builds. Most
importantly, this requires us to figure out the location of the build
directory:
- When running benchmarks via our Makefile the build directory is the
same as the source directory. We already know to derive the test
directory ("t/") via `$(pwd)/..`, which works because we chdir into
"t/perf" before executing benchmarks. We can thus derive the build
directory by appending another "/.." to that path.
- When running benchmarks via Meson the build directory is located at
an arbitrary location. The build system thus has to make the path
known by exporting the `GIT_BUILD_DIR` environment variable.
This change prepares us for wiring up benchmarks in Meson.

Our benchmarks use a couple of Perl scripts to compute results. These
Perl scripts get executed directly, and as the shebang is hardcoded to
"/usr/bin/perl" this will fail on any system where the Perl interpreter
is located in a different path.
Our build infrastructure already lets users configure the location of
Perl, which ultimately gets written into the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file.
This file is being sourced by "test-lib.sh", and consequently we already
have the "PERL_PATH" variable available that contains its configured
location.
Use "PERL_PATH" to execute Perl scripts, which makes them work on more
esoteric systems like NixOS. Furthermore, adapt the shebang to use
env(1) to execute Perl so that users who have Perl in PATH, but in a
non-standard location can execute the script directly.

Many of our benchmarks operate on a user-defined repository that we copy
over before running the benchmarked logic. To keep unintentional side
effects caused by on-disk state at bay we skip copying some files. This
includes for example hooks, but also the repo's configuration.
It is quite sensible to not copy over the configuration, as it is quite
easy to inadvertently carry over configuration that may significantly
impact the performance measurements. But we cannot fully ignore the
configuration either, as it may contain information about the repository
format. This will cause failures when for example using a repository
with SHA256 object format or the reftable ref format.
Fix the issue by parsing the reference and object formats from the
source repository and passing them to git-init(1).

* jc/ci-skip-unavailable-external-software:
ci: skip unavailable external software
The ci/install-dependencies.sh script used in a very early phase of
our CI jobs downloads Perforce, Git-LFS, and JGit, used for running
the test scripts. The test framework is prepared to properly skip
the tests that depend on these external software, but the CI script
is unnecessarily strict (due to its use of "set -e" in ci/lib.sh)
and fails the entire CI run before even starting to test the rest of
the system.
Notice a failure to download to any of these external software, but
keep going. We need to be careful about cleaning after a failed
wget, as a later part of the script that does:
if type jgit >/dev/null 2>&1
then
echo "$(tput setaf 6)JGit Version$(tput sgr0)"
jgit version
else
echo >&2 "WARNING: JGit wasn't installed, see above for clues why"
fi
will (surprise!) succeed running "type jgit", and then fail with
"jgit version", taking the whole thing down due to "set -e".

When using the launchctl scheduler, the weekly job runs daily, and the
daily job runs on the first six days of each month. This appears to be
due to specifying "Day" in the calendar intervals, which according to
launchd.plist(5) is for specifying days of the month rather than days of
the week. The behaviour of running a job on the 0th day is undocumented,
but in my testing appears to be the same as not specifying "Day" in the
calendar interval, in which case the job will run daily.
Use "Weekday" in the calendar intervals, which is the correct way to
schedule jobs to run on specific days of the week.

Just as in b64d78ad02 (max_tree_depth: lower it for MSVC to avoid
stack overflows, 2023-11-01), I encountered the same problem with the
clang builds on Windows/ARM64.
The symptom is an exit code 127 when t6700 tries to verify that `git
archive big` fails.
This exit code is reserved on Unix/Linux to mean "command not found".
Unfortunately in this case, it is the fall-back chosen by
Cygwin's `pinfo::status_exit()` method when encountering
the NSTATUS `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`, see
https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin/blob/cygwin-3.6.1/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc#L171
I verified manually that the stack overflow always happens somewhere
around tree depth 1403, therefore 1280 should be a safe bound in these
instances.

In fb5e3378f8 (mingw: move Git for Windows' system config where users
expect it, 2021-06-22), I moved the location of Git for Windows' system
config and system Git attributes file to the top-level `/etc/` directory
(because it is a much more obvious location than, say, `/mingw64/etc/`).
The patch relied on a very specific scenario that the newly-supported
Windows/ARM64 builds of `git.exe` fails to fall into. So let's broaden
the condition a bit, so that Windows/ARM64 builds also use that location
(instead of the even more obscure `/clangarm64/etc/` directory).

Git for Windows/ARM64 settled on using `clang` to compile `git.exe`, and
hence needs to run in a system where `MSYSTEM` is set to `CLANGARM64`
and the prefix to use is `/clangarm64`.
We already did that in the `MINGW` arm, i.e. for regular Git for Windows
builds using MINGW GCC (or `clang`'s shim pretending to be GCC), now it
is time to do the same in the MS Visual C part.

This perf script creates a midx by running "git multi-pack-index write"
with the "--stdin-packs" option. We feed that stdin by running "find" on
.git/objects/pack, using sed to strip off everything but the basename.
But that sed invocation also does something peculiar: it adds a "+" to
the start of each pack name. This causes the multi-pack-index command to
barf. The modified name does not match any pack it knows about, so it
ends up with an empty list of packs to put in the midx. And thus nothing
matches the --preferred-pack option we pass, which causes it die().
The fix is to remove the extra "+" (which also lets us simplify the sed
invocation a bit, as it is now just stripping the leading directories).
But that leaves the mystery of why it was ever there in the first place.
The answer is that an earlier iteration of the patch series had a
concept of "disjoint" packs in the midx. And one of its patches here:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/c52d7e7b27a9add4f58b8334db4fe4498af1c90f.1701198172.git.me@ttaylorr.com/
taught read_packs_from_stdin() to treat a leading "+" as marking a
disjoint pack. But in the second version of the series, which was
ultimately merged, that disjoint concept went away, and the code to
parse "+" did likewise. The regular regression tests were adjusted to
match, but this case in t/perf was forgotten.

The shell completion scripts in "contrib/completion" are being tested,
but none of our build systems support installing them. This is somewhat
confusing for Meson, where users can explicitly enable building these
scripts via `-Dcontrib=completion`. This option only controlls whether
the completions are built and tested against, where "building" is a bit
of an euphemism for "copying them into the build directory".
Teach both our Makefile and Meson to install our Bash completion script.
For now, this is the only completion script that we're installing given
that Bash completions "just work" with a canonical well-known location
nowadays. Other completion scripts, like for example the one for zsh,
don't have a well-known location and/or require extra steps by the user
to make them available. As such, we skip installing these scripts for
now, but we may do so in the future if we ever figure out a proper way
to do this.

Our tests for git-p4(1) depend on the p4d(1) and p4(1) executables to
exist. As we require specific versions of those binaries which typically
aren't available on common distributions, we install them manually via
"ci/install-dependencies.sh".
This script will put the binaries into "$CUSTOM_PATH", which gets
defined by "ci/lib.sh" -- if not explicitly overridden, its value will
be set to "$HOME/path". This causes issues though when running our tests
as unprivileged user, as we do both in GitLab CI and GitHub Actions,
because "$HOME" will be different when installing dependencies and when
running the tests. Consequently, the downloaded binaries will not be
found unless "$CUSTOM_PATH" is overridden to a common location.
We already do this for GitLab CI, where it points to "/custom". Let's do
the same for GitHub Actions so that Perforce-based tests are executed
