Fix scalar diagnose failures#543

When 672196a (scalar-diagnose: use 'git diagnose --mode=all', 2022-08-12) updated 'scalar diagnose' to run 'git diagnose' as a subprocess, it was passed through the run_git() caller. Upstream, this caller does not repeat, but in microsoft/git we have a retry loop specifically for cases where 'git config' commands fail due to concurrency. If the underlying 'git diagnose' command fails, then the failure is repeated. Remove this retry loop for this case. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
When this loop was adapted into diagnose.c, it gained an error response when failing to read a file. This started causing consistent failures for users with a shared object cache, demonstrating a gap in our testing support. The error message itself is confusing: error: could not read '[...]/info': Permission denied fatal: unable to create diagnostics archive [...].zip: Permission denied The "Permission denied" is a red herring for both of these. The second one is due to a die_errno() even though it's not related to that filename. The first is actually due to trying to _read the contents of the directory_. Since we previously did not error out in this case, we never noticed this problem in the past. Now, it is causing 'scalar diagnose' to fail. The fix is to add the filename to the info directory path and read from that file. Be careful that the entry is actually a file. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
Cherry pick commit d3775de (Makefile: force -O0 when compiling with SANITIZE=leak, 2022-10-18), as otherwise the leak checker at GitHub Actions CI seems to fail with a false positive.

This resolves #541. The root cause here is that this loop that intended to get all files from the `info` directory of the shared object cache _never worked_, but previously we did not propagate that to a complete failure. The reason it didn't work is that we tried to read file contents from the directory path. I also noticed a silly retry issue because we are now using `run_git()` which does three retries due to concurrency issues in the functional tests. We don't want to repeat failures three times in `scalar diagnose`.
