[PATCH 0/4] trace2: move 'def_param' events into 'cmd_name' and 'cmd_alias'

["Jeff Hostetler via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Some Git commands do not emit def_param events for interesting config and
environment variable settings. Let's fix that.

Builtin commands compiled into git.c have the normal control flow and emit a
cmd_name event and then def_param events for each interesting config and
environment variable. However, some special "query" commands, like
--exec-path, or some forms of alias expansion, emitted a cmd_name but did
not emit def_param events.

Also, special commands git-remote-https is built from remote-curl.c and
git-http-fetch is built from http-fetch.c and do not use the normal set up
in git.c. These emitted a cmd_name but not def_param events.

To minimize the footprint of this commit, move the calls to
trace2_cmd_list_config() and trace2_cmd_list_env_vars() into
trace2_cmd_name() and trace2_cmd_alias() so that we always get a set
def_param events when a cmd_name or cmd_alias event is generated.

Users can define local config settings on a repo to classify/name a repo
(e.g. "project-foo" vs "personal") and use the def_param feature to label
Trace2 data so that (a third-party) telemetry service does not collect data
on personal repos or so that telemetry from one work repo is distinguishable
from another work repo.

Jeff Hostetler (4):
  t0211: demonstrate missing 'def_param' events for certain commands
  trace2: avoid emitting 'def_param' set more than once
  trace2: emit 'def_param' set with 'cmd_name' event
  trace2: remove unneeded calls to generate 'def_param' set
