The "repository" test helper sets up `the_repository` twice. In fact
though, we don't even have to set it up even once: all we need is to set
up its hash algorithm, because we still depend on some subsystems that
aren't free of `the_repository`.
Refactor the code accordingly. This prepares for a subsequent change,
where setting up the repository repeatedly will lead to a `BUG()`.

When asked to perform object consistency checks via the `--fsck-objects`
flag we verify that each object part of the pack is valid. In general,
this check can even be performed outside of a Git repository: we don't
need an initialized object database as we simply read the object from
the packfile directly.
But there's one exception: a subset of the object checks may be deferred
to a later point in time. For now, this only concerns ".gitmodules" and
".gitattributes" files: whenever we see a tree referencing these files
we queue them for a deferred check. This is done because we need to do
some extra checks for those files to ensure that they are well-formed,
and these checks need to be done regardless of whether the corresponding
blobs are part of the packfile or not.
This works inside a repository, but unfortunately the logic leads to a
segfault when running outside of one. This is because we eventually call
`odb_read_object()`, which will crash because the object database has
not been initialized.
There's multiple options here:
- We could in theory create a purely in-memory database with only a
packfile store that contains the single packfile. We don't really
have the infrastructure for this yet though, and it would end up
being quite hacky.
- We could refuse to perform consistency checks outside of a
repository. But most of the checks work alright, so this would be a
regression.
- We can skip the finalizing consistency checks when running outside
of a repository. This is not as invasive as skipping all checks,
but it's not great to randomly skip a subset of tests, either.
None of these options really feel perfect. The first one would be the
obvious choice if easily possible.
There's another option though: instead of skipping the final object
checks, we can die if there are any queued object checks. With this
change we now die exactly if and only if we would have previously
segfaulted. Like this we ensure that objects that _may_ fail the
consistency checks won't be silently skipped, and at the same time we
give users a much better error message.
Refactor the code accordingly and add a test that would have triggered
the segfault. Note that we also move down the logic to add the packfile
to the store. There is no point doing this any earlier than right before
we execute `fsck_finish()`, and it ensures that the logic to set up and
perform the consistency check is self-contained.

Our object database sources have a field `disable_ref_updates`. This
field can obviously be set to disable reference updates, but it is
somewhat curious that this logic is hosted by the object database.
The reason for this is that it was primarily added to keep us from
accidentally updating references while an ODB transaction is ongoing.
Any objects part of the transaction have not yet been committed to disk,
so new references that point to them might get corrupted in case we
never end up committing the transaction. As such, whenever we create a
new transaction we set up a new temporary ODB source and mark it as
disabling reference updates.
This has one (and only one?) upside: once we have committed the
transaction, the temporary source will be dropped and thus we clean up
the disabled reference updates automatically. But other than that, it's
somewhat misdesigned:
- We can have multiple ODB sources, but only the currently active
source inhibits reference updates.
- We're mixing concerns of the refdb with the ODB.
Arguably, the decision of whether we can update references or not should
be handled by the refdb. But that wouldn't be a great fit either, as
there can be one refdb per worktree. So we'd again have the same problem
that a "global" intent becomes localized to a specific instance.
Instead, move the setting into the repository. While at it, convert it
into a boolean.

The function `odb_clear()` releases all resources allocated to an object
database and ensures that all fields become zero'd out. Despite its
naming though it doesn't really clear the object database so that it
becomes ready for reuse afterwards again -- the caller would first have
to reinitialize it, and that contradicts the terminology of "clearing"
as we have defined it in our coding guidelines.
There isn't really only a reason to have "clearing" semantics, either.
There's only a single caller of `odb_clear()`, and that caller also ends
up freeing the object database structure itself.
Refactor the function to have "freeing" semantics instead, so that the
structure itself is also freed, which allows us to drop some useless
boilerplate to zero out the structure's members.
This refactoring reveals that we're trying to close the commit graph
multiple times: once directly via `free_commit_graph()`, and once via
`odb_close()`. Drop the former call.

The logic to close an object database is currently contained in the
packfile subsystem. That choice is somewhat relatable, as most of the
logic really is to close resources associated with the packfile store
itself. But we also end up handling object sources and commit graphs,
which certainly is not related to packfiles.
Move the function into the object database subsystem and rename it to
`odb_close()`.

The function `enter_repo()` is used to enter a repository at a given
path. As such it sits way closer to setting up a repository than it does
with handling paths, but regardless of that it's located in "path.c"
instead of in "setup.c".
Move the function into "setup.c".

The previous step replaced deprecated macos-13 image with macos-14
image on GitHub Actions CI. While x86-64 binaries can work there,
because macos-14 images are arm64 based (we could replace it with
macos-14-large that is x86-64), it makes more sense to use arm64
binary there. Without this change, we have been getting unusually
higher rate of failures from random macOS CI jobs railing to run
t98xx series of tests.

Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining
htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in
different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed
directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML
documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same.
Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that
"git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the
correct directory.
