Fixes #5428

For example, https://git-scm.com/docs/gitrepository-layout says:

    info
    Additional information about the repository is recorded in this directory.
    This directory is ignored if $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set
    and "$GIT_COMMON_DIR/info" will be used instead.

So when looking for `info/attributes`, we need to check the commondir first,
or fallback to "our" `info/attributes`.

In libgit2 nomenclature, when we need to verb a direct object, we name
a function `git_directobject_verb`.  Thus, if we need to init an options
structure named `git_foo_options`, then the name of the function that
does that should be `git_foo_options_init`.

The previous names of `git_foo_init_options` is close - it _sounds_ as
if it's initializing the options of a `foo`, but in fact
`git_foo_options` is its own noun that should be respected.

Deprecate the old names; they'll now call directly to the new ones.

Since we now always build the library with cdecl calling conventions,
our callbacks should be decorated as such so that users will not be able
to provide callbacks defined with other calling conventions.

The `GIT_CALLBACK` macro will inject the `__cdecl` attribute as
appropriate.

git_object_t is the future; update the public API to use it.  This will
also ensure that we can build our tests which make use of the old API
without modification (and without compiler warnings).

Several functions to retrieve variables from a repository only return
immutable values, which allows us to actually constify the passed-in
repository parameter. Do so to help a later patch, which will only have
access to a constant repository.
