[PATCH v2 0/3] scalar: two downstream improvements

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

While updating git-for-windows/git and microsoft/git for the 2.42.0 release
window, a few patches that we've been running in those forks for a while
came to light as something that would be beneficial to the core Git project.
Here are some that are focused on the 'scalar' command.

 * Patch 1 adds a --no-src option to scalar clone to appease users who want
   to use scalar but object to the creation of the src directory.
 * Patches 2 and 3 help when scalar reconfigure -a fails. Patch 2 is a
   possibly helpful change on its own for other uses in the future.


Updates in V2
=============

Thanks, Junio, for the helpful review!

 * In Patch 1, the '--[no-]src' documentation is tightened and the tests
   check the contents of the repository worktree.
 * In Patch 2, the commit message is reworded to be more clear about
   positive values of the enum.
 * In Patch 2, the GIT_DIR_NONE option of the enum is never returned, so it
   does not need to exist. A case in scalar.c referenced it, so it is
   removed as part of the patch (though that case was removed later by patch
   3 anyway).
 * In Patch 2, the discover_git_directory() wrapper is updated to return -1
   instead of 1, as it did before this patch.
 * In Patch 3, the 'failed' variable is renamed to 'succeeded' and the cases
   that update the value are swapped. The return code is set to -1 for any
   error instead of having a custom value based on the return from error()
   or error_errno().

Thanks, -Stolee

          1. The zero value of the enum is actually GIT_DIR_NONE, so nonpositive
             results are errors.
      
     -    2. There are multiple successful states, so some positive results are
     +    2. There are multiple successful states; positive results are
             successful.
      
     +    It is worth noting that GIT_DIR_NONE is not returned, so we remove this
     +    option from the enum. We must be careful to keep the successful reasons
     +    as positive values, so they are given explicit positive values.
     +    Further, a use in scalar.c was previously impossible, so it is removed.
     +
          Instead of updating all callers immediately, add a new method,
          discover_git_directory_reason(), and convert discover_git_directory() to
          be a thin shim on top of it.
      
     +    One thing that is important to note is that discover_git_directory()
     +    previously returned -1 on error, so let's continue that into the future.
     +    There is only one caller (in scalar.c) that depends on that signedness
     +    instead of a non-zero check, so clean that up, too.
     +
          Because there are extra checks that discover_git_directory_reason() does
          after setup_git_directory_gently_1(), there are other modes that can be
          returned for failure states. Add these modes to the enum, but be sure to
