attr_file: ignore macros defined in subdirectories
Right now, we are unconditionally applying all macros found in a
gitatttributes file. But quoting gitattributes(5):
Custom macro attributes can be defined only in top-level
gitattributes files ($GIT_DIR/info/attributes, the .gitattributes
file at the top level of the working tree, or the global or
system-wide gitattributes files), not in .gitattributes files in
working tree subdirectories. The built-in macro attribute "binary"
is equivalent to:
So gitattribute files in subdirectories of the working tree may
explicitly _not_ contain macro definitions, but we do not currently
enforce this limitation.
This patch introduces a new parameter to the gitattributes parser that
tells whether macros are allowed in the current file or not. If set to
`false`, we will still parse macros, but silently ignore them instead of
adding them to the list of defined macros. Update all callers to
correctly determine whether the to-be-parsed file may contain macros or
not. Most importantly, when walking up the directory hierarchy, we will
only set it to `true` once it reaches the root directory of the repo
itself.
Add a test that verifies that we are indeed not applying macros from
subdirectories. Previous to these changes, the test would've failed.
