From: Derrick Stolee <redacted> We have universally-banned functions listed in banned.h since c8af66ab8ad (automatically ban strcpy(), 2018-07-26), but some layers of the code should be more strict than others. One such example is the trace2 API which runs during atexit() and can prove to cause die()-handler recursion problems if it calls die(). Create a new banned-die.h header file that will ban some Git methods that call die(). Include that in all trace2 API implementation files. This currently only bans die() itself, and that was already not used. It would be reasonable to name this file trace2/tr2_banned.h to be specific to the trace2 API, but it seems like such a restriction would be valuable to put in some other areas of the code, so adding it at the root of the tree seems like a good long-term approach.
