Colin Hinton f17d211c97 chdir-notify.h: Removed unused param 'name'
The `name` parameter in `chdir_notify_entry` was only ever used by
chdir_notify_reparent() to produce trace output. That function was
removed in 5bf546755c (chdir-notify: drop unused
`chdir_notify_reparent()`, 2026-06-25), which left `name` with no
remaining consumers.

Prior to that removal, most callers had already stopped passing a
meaningful name, switching to NULL in 1f43ff2c7e (refs: unregister
reference stores from "chdir_notify", 2026-06-25) and 0de2467e6c
(odb/source-packed: start converting to a proper `struct odb_source`,
2026-06-17).

Since no caller has populated `name` with real data for some time,
and its last consumer is gone, drop it from chdir_notify_register(),
chdir_notify_unregister(), and the callback signature to simplify
the API.

#ifndef CHDIR_NOTIFY_H
#define CHDIR_NOTIFY_H
/*
* An API to let code "subscribe" to changes to the current working directory.
* The general idea is that some code asks to be notified when the working
* directory changes, and other code that calls chdir uses a special wrapper
* that notifies everyone.
*/
/*
* Callers who need to know about changes can do:
*
* void foo(const char *old_path, const char *new_path, void *data)
* {
* warning("switched from %s to %s!", old_path, new_path);
* }
* ...
* chdir_notify_register("description", foo, data);
*
* In practice most callers will want to move a relative path to the new root;
* they can use the reparent_relative_path() helper for that.
*
* Whenever a chdir event occurs, that will update my_path (if it's relative)
* to adjust for the new cwd by freeing any existing string and allocating a
* new one.
*
* Registered functions are called in the order in which they were added. Note
* that there's currently no way to remove a function, so make sure that the
* data parameter remains valid for the rest of the program.
*
* The "name" argument is used only for printing trace output from
* $GIT_TRACE_SETUP. It may be NULL, but if non-NULL should point to
* storage which lasts as long as the registration is active.
