CodingGuidelines: clarify C #include rules
Even though "advice.h" includes "git-compat-util.h", it is not
sensible to have it as the first #include and indirectly satisify
the "You must give git-compat-util.h a clean environment to set up
feature test macros before including any of the system headers are
included", which is the real requirement.
Because:
- A command that interacts with the object store, config subsystem,
the index, or the working tree cannot do anything without using
what is declared in "cache.h";
- A built-in command must be declared in "builtin.h", so anything
in builtin/*.c must include it;
- These two headers both include "git-compat-util.h" as the first
thing; and
- Almost all our *.c files (outside compat/ and borrowed files in
xdiff/) need some Git-ness from "cache.h" to do something
Git-ish.
let's explicitly specify that one of these three header files must
be the first thing that is included.
Any of our *.c file should include the header file that directly
declares what it uses, instead of relying on the fact that some *.h
file it includes happens to include another *.h file that declares
the necessary function or type. Spell it out as another guideline
item.
