[4/7] for-each-repo: run subcommands on configured repos

Commit Message

From: Derrick Stolee <[e-mail]>

It can be helpful to store a list of repositories in global or system
config and then iterate Git commands on that list. Create a new builtin
that makes this process simple for experts. We will use this builtin to
run scheduled maintenance on all configured repositories in a future
change.

The test is very simple, but does highlight that the "--" argument is
optional.

Nice, I like this new command.

However, I'm not sure if we could declare this command as plumbing or
porcelain command.

I guess this command is meant more for scripting purpose, hence, it
should be plumbing, thus we need to define clear protocol for this
command, e.g, where it will redirect other command output, error to,
where for-each-repo write its own output/error.

Also, I think it would be nice to declare this is experimental for now.
Like we declared git-switch and git-restore.

+====================

+NAME
+----
+git-for-each-repo - Run a Git command on a list of repositories
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git for-each-repo' --config=<config> [--] <arguments>
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Run a Git commands on a list of repositories. The arguments after the
+known options or `--` indicator are used as the arguments for the Git
+command.
+
+For example, we could run maintenance on each of a list of repositories
+stored in a `maintenance.repo` config variable using
+
+-------------
+git for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run
+-------------
+
+This will run `git -C <repo> maintenance run` for each value `<repo>`
+in the multi-valued config variable `maintenance.repo`.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--config=<config>::
+	Use the given config variable as a multi-valued list storing
+	absolute path names. Iterate on that list of paths to run
+	the given arguments.
++
+These config values are loaded from system, global, and local Git config,
+as available. If `git for-each-repo` is run in a directory that is not a
+Git repository, then only the system and global config is used.
