This adds Git attribute parser support for file paths that don't contain
any attributes.

gives same permissions to file even if the file was renamed

Mark blobs as binary whenever this is known

This removes the need for using `Linguist::BlobHelper#binary?` whenever the binary status is already known, in turn reducing loading times of https://gitlab.com/nrclark/dummy_project/commit/81ebdea5df2fb42e59257cb3eaad671a5c53ca36 (by about 2-ish seconds locally).

See merge request !123

Previously we would rely on Linguist::BlobHelper to determine if a blob
was binary or not. Since Rugged knows if a blob is binary we can instead
just inherit this information and fall back to BlobHelper if the binary
flag wasn't set explicitly.

When testing this with https://gitlab.com/nrclark/dummy_project/commit/81ebdea5df2fb42e59257cb3eaad671a5c53ca36
it reduces loading times (locally) by around 2 seconds.

Improve handling of large diffs

This MR adjusts the way checking for large diffs takes place. Prior to this MR the procedure was basically as follows:

1. Iterate over every diff in a collection
2. Just load the entire diff into memory, why not
3. Check if the resulting content _including_ any diff markers/meta data exceed a threshold
4. Prune or collapse the diff

This MR changes things around so the procedure is instead as follows:

1. Iterate over every diff in a collection
2. Check if the data modified (excluding diff markers) is larger than a threshold
3. If this is not the case, proceed as usual. if this _is_ the case we'll prune/collapse the diff

See merge request !122

Prior to this commit the DiffCollection class was responsible for
checking if a diff had to be collapsed or was too large to be displayed
altogether.

This commit changes both DiffCollection and Diff so that Diff itself
checks if its too large or has to be collapsed. These checks happen when
the Diff is being initialised. The patch size is based on the size of
every line in every hunk of the diff, instead of relying on the diff as
a string including diff markers.

DiffCollection still has an extra check to collapse diffs when it has
iterated over too many files. Since this is unrelated to the actual
sizes this has been kept as-is.

For binary files no pruning takes place as the diffs for these files are
not displayed. In the past the size of a diff was reported based on the
diff's size (including metadata). If we were to use the actual file's
size a diff would be marked as being too large and in the case of an
image would never be displayed.

When the "binary" option is set to true the "diff" option is to be set
to false automatically.

Git attributes can be defined using an absolute path. This commit fixes
the matching procedure so that attributes and paths with leading slashes
are supported properly.

Previously using Gitlab::Git::Attributes when $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
didn't exist would result in a runtime error. This commit fixes this so
an empty Hash is produced instead.

Parse Git attribute files using Ruby

Commit 340e111e contains all the details. It's quite the read so the short summary is:

> Rugged is slow as heck because it runs multiple IO calls every time you request a set of Git attributes. gitlab_git now provides a pure Ruby parser that avoids this and is between 4 and 6 times faster.

Here's a Grafana screenshot to show how bad it can get:

See merge request !121

Rugged provides a way of parsing Git attribute files such as the one
located in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes. Per GitLab's performance monitoring
tools quite a lot of time can be spent in parsing/retrieving attributes.

This commit introduces a pure Ruby parser for gitlab_git that performs
drastically better than the one provided by Rugged.

== Production Timings

As an example, take the commit https://gitlab.com/nrclark/dummy_project/commit/81ebdea5df2fb42e59257cb3eaad671a5c53ca36
(as taken from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/10785).
When loading this commit we spend between 4 and 6 seconds in
Rugged::Repository#fetch_attributes. This method is called around 1100
times. This is the result of two problems:

1. For every diff we call Gitlab::Git::Repository#diffable? and pass it
   a blob. This method in turn returns a boolean (based on the Git
   attributes for the blob's path) indicating if the content is
   diffable.

2. For every diff we use the GitLab class Gitlab::Highlight which calls
   Repository#gitattribute in the #custom_language method. This is used
   to determine what language to use for highlighting a diff.

As a result in the worst case we'll end up with 2 calls to
Gitlab::Git::Repository#attributes (previously delegated to
Rugged::Repository#attributes).

== Rugged Implementation

Rugged in turn implements the "attributes" method in a rather
in-efficient way. The first time this method is called it will run at
least a single open() call to open the file. On top of that it appears
to run 2 stat() calls for every call to Rugged::Repository#attributes.
In other words, if you call it a 100 times you will end up with 201 IO
calls:

* 200 stat() calls
* 1 open() call

== Rugged IO Overhead

To confirm the IO overhead of Rugged I created the following script
(saved as "confirm.rb"):

    require 'rugged'

    path = '/tmp/test/.git'
    repo = Rugged::Repository.new(path)

    10.times do
      repo.attributes('README.md')['gitlab-language']
    end

I then ran this as follows:

    strace -f ruby confirm.rb 2>&1 | grep -i 'info/attributes' | wc -l

This counts the number of instances an IO call refers to the
"$GIT_DIR/info/attributes" file. The output is "21", meaning 21 IO calls
were executed.

While this may not be a big problem when using physical storage (even
less so when using SSDs), this _will_ be a problem when using network
storage. For example, say every operation takes 2 milliseconds to
complete. This would result in _at least_ 400 milliseconds being spent
in _just_ the IO operations.

The Ruby parser on the other hand only uses a single open() IO call.

== Benchmarking

To measure the performance of this code I wrote the following benchmark:

    require 'rugged'
    require 'benchmark/ips'

    require_relative 'lib/gitlab_git/attributes'

    repo = Rugged::Repository.new('/tmp/test/.git')
    attr = Gitlab::Git::Attributes.new(repo.path)

    Benchmark.ips(time: 10) do |bench|
      bench.report 'Rugged' do
        repo.attributes('test.haml.html')['gitlab-language']
      end

      bench.report 'gitlab_git' do
        attr.attributes('test.haml.html')['gitlab-language']
      end

      bench.compare!
    end

The contents of /tmp/test/.git/info/attributes are as follows:

    # This is a comment, it should be ignored.

    *.txt     text
    *.jpg     -text
    *.sh      eol=lf gitlab-language=shell
    *.haml.*  gitlab-language=haml
    foo/bar.* foo
    *.cgi     key=value?p1=v1&p2=v2

    # This uses a tab instead of spaces to ensure the parser also supports this.
    *.md	gitlab-language=markdown

Running this benchmark on my development environment produces the
following output:

    Warming up --------------------------------------
                  Rugged     9.543k i/100ms
              gitlab_git    43.277k i/100ms
    Calculating -------------------------------------
                  Rugged    100.261k (± 2.0%) i/s -      1.012M in  10.093380s
              gitlab_git    482.186k (± 1.7%) i/s -      4.847M in  10.055286s

    Comparison:
              gitlab_git:   482185.6 i/s
                  Rugged:   100260.6 i/s - 4.81x  slower

The exact output differs on system load but usually the new Ruby based
parser is between 4 and 6 times faster than Rugged.

To further test this I wrote the following benchmark:

    require 'benchmark'

    amount = 5000
    rugged = Rugged::Repository.new('/var/opt/gitlab/git-data-ceph/repositories/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git')
    attrs = Gitlab::Git::Attributes.new(rugged.path)

    rugged = amount.times.map do
      timing = Benchmark.measure do
        rugged.attributes('README.md').to_h
      end

      timing.real * 1000.0
    end

    ruby = amount.times.map do
      timing = Benchmark.measure do
        attrs.attributes('README.md')
      end

      timing.real * 1000.0
    end

    puts "Rugged: #{rugged.inject(:+)} ms"
    puts "Ruby: #{ruby.inject(:+)} ms"

This script uses Rugged and the new attributes parser, parses the same
attributes file 5000 times, and then counts the total processing time.
Running this script on worker1 produced the following output:

    Rugged: 131.95287296548486 ms
    Ruby: 30.17003694549203 ms

Here the Ruby based solution is around ~4.5 times faster than Rugged.

== Further Improvements

GitLab may decide to at some point cache the parsed data structures in
for example Redis, which is now possible due to them being proper Ruby
data structures. Note that this is only really beneficial in cases where
Git attributes are requested for the same file path in different
requests. This also requires careful cache invalidation. For example, we
don't want to invalidate the entire cache when modifying some unrelated
file.

Because of the complexity involved it's best to leave this for later and
only implement it once we're certain it will actually be beneficial.

Add Repository#find_branch to speed up branch lookups

See merge request !119

refs DB

See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/15392#note_14538333

A common call in GitLab is to lookup a single branch, but previously
this was done by calling Repository#branches, which loads all the
branches into memory unnecessarily and causes many filesystem
accesses for each branch. With Repository#find_branch, we can
do a direct lookup for the branch we care about.

Remove unneeded call to Repository#root_ref in #log

See merge request !117

From our monitoring data, it seems that Repository#root_ref can be slow
sometimes (probably because it involves iterating over all branches),
and there's no need to have it in the `default_options` hash since
a similar effect is achieved in `actual_ref = options[:ref] || root_ref`
below, and subsequent calls don't need a `:ref` key in the passed
options.
