This patch prepares for callers to be able to write reverse index files to disk. It adds the necessary machinery to write a format-compliant .rev file from within 'write_rev_file()', which is called from 'finish_tmp_packfile()'. Similar to the process by which the reverse index is computed in memory, these new paths also have to sort a list of objects by their offsets within a packfile. These new paths use a qsort() (as opposed to a radix sort), since our specialized radix sort requires a full revindex_entry struct per object, which is more memory than we need to allocate. The qsort is obviously slower, but the theoretical slowdown would require a repository with a large amount of objects, likely implying that the time spent in, say, pack-objects during a repack would dominate the overall runtime.
