Since nobody uses the old API, make it file-scope static, and update
the documentation to describe the new API.

Querying Specific Attributes
----------------------------
-* Prepare an array of `struct git_attr_check` to define the list of
- attributes you would want to check. To populate this array, you would
- need to define necessary attributes by calling `git_attr()` function.
+* Prepare `struct attr_check` using attr_check_initl()
+ function, enumerating the names of attributes whose values you are
+ interested in, terminated with a NULL pointer. Alternatively, an
+ empty `struct attr_check` can be prepared by calling
+ `attr_check_alloc()` function and then attributes you want to
+ ask about can be added to it with `attr_check_append()`
+ function.
* Call `git_check_attr()` to check the attributes for the path.
-* Inspect `git_attr_check` structure to see how each of the attribute in
- the array is defined for the path.

Querying All Attributes
-----------------------
To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
-* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which returns an array of `git_attr_check`
- structures.
+* Prepare an empty `attr_check` structure by calling
+ `attr_check_alloc()`.
+
+* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which populates the `attr_check`
+ with the attributes attached to the path.
-* Iterate over the `git_attr_check` array to examine the attribute
- names and values. The name of the attribute described by a
- `git_attr_check` object can be retrieved via
- `git_attr_name(check[i].attr)`. (Please note that no items will be
- returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return false
- for all returned `git_array_check` objects.)
+* Iterate over the `attr_check.check[]` array to examine
+ the attribute names and values. The name of the attribute
+ described by a `attr_check.check[]` object can be retrieved via
+ `git_attr_name(check->check[i].attr)`. (Please note that no items
+ will be returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return
+ false for all returned `attr_check.check[]` objects.)
-* Free the `git_array_check` array.
+* Free the `attr_check` struct by calling `attr_check_free()`.
