Subject: clone --recurse-submodules: prevent name squatting on Windows

commit 0060fd1511b94c918928fa3708f69a3f33895a4a upstream.

In addition to preventing `.git` from being tracked by Git, on Windows
we also have to prevent `git~1` from being tracked, as the default NTFS
short name (also known as the "8.3 filename") for the file name `.git`
is `git~1`, otherwise it would be possible for malicious repositories to
write directly into the `.git/` directory, e.g. a `post-checkout` hook
that would then be executed _during_ a recursive clone.

When we implemented appropriate protections in 2b4c6efc821 (read-cache:
optionally disallow NTFS .git variants, 2014-12-16), we had analyzed
carefully that the `.git` directory or file would be guaranteed to be
the first directory entry to be written. Otherwise it would be possible
e.g. for a file named `..git` to be assigned the short name `git~1` and
subsequently, the short name generated for `.git` would be `git~2`. Or
`git~3`. Or even `~9999999` (for a detailed explanation of the lengths
we have to go to protect `.gitmodules`, see the commit message of
e7cb0b4455c (is_ntfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-11)).

However, by exploiting two issues (that will be addressed in a related
patch series close by), it is currently possible to clone a submodule
into a non-empty directory:

- On Windows, file names cannot end in a space or a period (for
  historical reasons: the period separating the base name from the file
  extension was not actually written to disk, and the base name/file
  extension was space-padded to the full 8/3 characters, respectively).
  Helpfully, when creating a directory under the name, say, `sub.`, that
  trailing period is trimmed automatically and the actual name on disk
  is `sub`.

  This means that while Git thinks that the submodule names `sub` and
  `sub.` are different, they both access `.git/modules/sub/`.

- While the backslash character is a valid file name character on Linux,
  it is not so on Windows. As Git tries to be cross-platform, it
  therefore allows backslash characters in the file names stored in tree
  objects.

  Which means that it is totally possible that a submodule `c` sits next
  to a file `c\..git`, and on Windows, during recursive clone a file
  called `..git` will be written into `c/`, of course _before_ the
  submodule is cloned.

Note that the actual exploit is not quite as simple as having a
submodule `c` next to a file `c\..git`, as we have to make sure that the
directory `.git/modules/b` already exists when the submodule is checked
out, otherwise a different code path is taken in `module_clone()` that
does _not_ allow a non-empty submodule directory to exist already.

Even if we will address both issues nearby (the next commit will
disallow backslash characters in tree entries' file names on Windows,
and another patch will disallow creating directories/files with trailing
spaces or periods), it is a wise idea to defend in depth against this
sort of attack vector: when submodules are cloned recursively, we now
_require_ the directory to be empty, addressing CVE-2019-1349.

Note: the code path we patch is shared with the code path of `git
submodule update --init`, which must not expect, in general, that the
directory is empty. Hence we have to introduce the new option
`--force-init` and hand it all the way down from `git submodule` to the
actual `git submodule--helper` process that performs the initial clone.
