This change:
* Gets rid of the `.toC()` functions for Options objects, since they
were redundant with the `populateXxxOptions()`.
* Adds support for `errorTarget` to the `RemoteOptions`, since they are
used in the same stack for some functions (like `Fetch()`). Now for
those cases, the error returned by the callback will be preserved
as-is.
This change is a preparation for another change that makes all callback
types return a Go error instead of an error code / an integer. That is
going to make make things a lot more idiomatic.
The reason this change is split is threefold:
a) This change is mostly mechanical and should contain no semantic
changes.
b) This change is backwards-compatible (in the Go API compatibility
sense of the word), and thus can be backported to all other releases.
c) It makes the other change a bit smaller and more focused on just one
thing.
Concretely, this change makes all callbacks populate a Go error when
they fail. If the callback is invoked from the same stack as the
function to which it was passed (e.g. for `Tree.Walk`), it will preserve
the error object directly into a struct that also holds the callback
function. Otherwise if the callback is pased to one func and will be
invoked when run from another one (e.g. for `Repository.InitRebase`),
the error string is saved into the libgit2 thread-local storage and then
re-created as a `GitError`.
This change introduces the file deprecated.go, which contains any
constants, functions, and types that are slated to be deprecated in the
next major release.
These symbols are deprecated because they refer to old spellings in
pre-1.0 libgit2. This also makes the build be done with the
`-DDEPRECATE_HARD` flag to avoid regressions.
This, together with
[gorelease](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp/cmd/gorelease)[1] should
make releases safer going forward.

There's been some changes to the checkout strategy, especially the
SAFE_CREATE mode, which is now the RECREATE_MISSING flag, though that
shouldn't be necessary to use in the general case.
The largest changes come from the removal of the signture from
ref-modifying functions/methods and the removal of the reflog string in
all but those directly related to moving references.
While Go will assign the correct type to a const block when it
auto-creates the values, assigning makes the const be typeless and will
only gain it in each particular use.
Make each constant in the blocks have an assigned type.
The library stores error information in thread-local storage, which
means we need to make sure that the Go runtime doesn't switch OS
threads between the time we call a function and th time we attempt to
retrieve the error information.
