http*: add helper methods for fetching objects (loose)

The code handling the fetching of loose objects in http-push.c and
http-walker.c have been refactored into new methods and a new struct
(object_http_request) in http.c. They are not meant to be invoked
elsewhere.

The new methods in http.c are
 - new_http_object_request
 - process_http_object_request
 - finish_http_object_request
 - abort_http_object_request
 - release_http_object_request

and the new struct is http_object_request.

RANGER_HEADER_SIZE and no_pragma_header is no longer made available
outside of http.c, since after the above changes, there are no other
instances of usage outside of http.c.

Remove members of the transfer_request struct in http-push.c and
http-walker.c, including filename, real_sha1 and zret, as they are used
no longer used.

Move the methods append_remote_object_url() and get_remote_object_url()
from http-push.c to http.c. Additionally, get_remote_object_url() is no
longer defined only when USE_CURL_MULTI is defined, since
non-USE_CURL_MULTI code in http.c uses it (namely, in
new_http_object_request()).

Refactor code from http-push.c::start_fetch_loose() and
http-walker.c::start_object_fetch_request() that deals with the details
of coming up with the filename to store the retrieved object, resuming
a previously aborted request, and making a new curl request, into a new
function, new_http_object_request().

Refactor code from http-walker.c::process_object_request() into the
function, process_http_object_request().

Refactor code from http-push.c::finish_request() and
http-walker.c::finish_object_request() into a new function,
finish_http_object_request(). It returns the result of the
move_temp_to_file() invocation.

Add a function, release_http_object_request(), which cleans up object
request data. http-push.c and http-walker.c invoke this function
separately; http-push.c::release_request() and
http-walker.c::release_object_request() do not invoke this function.

Add a function, abort_http_object_request(), which unlink()s the object
file and invokes release_http_object_request(). Update
http-walker.c::abort_object_request() to use this.
