Long term objective is for this to live in git proper, but remains
independently compilable, so it can be used by libgit2 as well.

This is achieved by having the code only depend on functions in
strbuf.h and git-compat-util.h.

I would like to enforce the separation by having an actual standalone
compile, but the discussion over the code to do so has caused more
heat than light, so I have deferred this by reworking standalone code
to to be on file level, and only importing the non-standalone code. In
one of the other patches, you found a place where I had overlooked a
REFTABLE_STANDALONE #ifdef; I'll remove that. I'll also remove the
update.sh script.

Until the reftable code is actually merged into git, I work on the
reftable library itself at github.com/google/reftable. I've asked our
opensource team if we could switch off the CLA enforcement for this
repo, to facilitate back & forth imports of fixes.

The current version of the patchseries mainly addresses overall
feedback from the Git team at Google to split the public API along
commits too, and updates the series so it applies to master again.
