grep: refactor the concept of "grep source" into an object
The main interface to the low-level grep code is grep_buffer, which takes a pointer to a buffer and a size. This is convenient and flexible (we use it to grep commit bodies, files on disk, and blobs by sha1), but it makes it hard to pass extra information about what we are grepping (either for correctness, like overriding binary auto-detection, or for optimizations, like lazily loading blob contents). Instead, let's encapsulate the idea of a "grep source", including the buffer, its size, and where the data is coming from. This is similar to the diff_filespec structure used by the diff code (unsurprising, since future patches will implement some of the same optimizations found there). The diffstat is slightly scarier than the actual patch content. Most of the modified lines are simply replacing access to raw variables with their counterparts that are now in a "struct grep_source". Most of the added lines were taken from builtin/grep.c, which partially abstracted the idea of grep sources (for file vs sha1 sources). Instead of dropping the now-redundant code, this patch leaves builtin/grep.c using the traditional grep_buffer interface (which now wraps the grep_source interface). That makes it easy to test that there is no change of behavior (yet). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
