This makes it easier to tweak the read/write code paths separately.

This ID was necessary back when session and repo processes supported connections from multiple clients. Nowadays, these processes run per connection and exit once a single client session has been served. The other processes already identify the client via the session/repo file descriptor which has sent an imsg.

Eventually, I would like to disconnect clients before notifications are generated. This change helps pave the way towards this goal.

instead of read(2)ing one byte at the time, use a temporary buffer. Special care is needed for the regress where all the replies are queued up-front instead of a real SMTP server where we'd get a reply only after a command. ok and improvements stsp@

This allows to reduce the set of pledge(2) promises needed at runtime down to only "stdio" which will also help sandboxing -portable. ok stsp

The strings need to be released regardless of the process parsing the file.

At present only email notifications are implemented. Code for HTTP notifications is not yet finished, hence HTTP-related documentation remains hidden for now. This adds a new 'notify' process which has an "exec" pledge. It runs helper programs which implement the notification transport layer, such as got-notify-email which speaks SMTP. This design avoids having to link all of gotd with network libraries and related crypto libraries. Notification content is generated by the 'repo_write' process. Commit log messages and diffstats are written to a file which the 'notify' process will pass on to its helpers on stdin. The default output looks similar to 'got log -d'. If too many new commits are present the output looks similar to 'got log -s' instead. Tags always look like 'got tag -l'. The session process coordinates generation of notifications. It maintains a notification queue which holds one notification per updated reference, and passes notification requests from this queue to the 'repo_write' process for notification content creation and then to the 'notify' process for notification delivery. Only one notification can be in flight at a time to avoid file descriptor starvation if many references get updated in a single client session. ok op@

Ensure that got ref -l provides consistent output regardless of whether references are packed or not. Problem reported by naddy@ Also make 'got ref -l name' work consistently when the provided argument is the name of a reference, rather than a ref-prefix. ok naddy
