This change removes the complicated procedures on the grounds of the following observations: - If everything is OK, rev-list closes its output pipe end, upon which pack-objects (which reads from the pipe) sees EOF and terminates itself, closing its output (and error) pipes. upload-pack reads from both until it sees EOF in both. It collects the exit codes of the child processes (which indicate success) and terminates successfully. - If rev-list sees an error, it closes its output and terminates with failure. pack-objects sees EOF in its input and terminates successfully. Again upload-pack reads its inputs until EOF. When it now collects the exit codes of its child processes, it notices the failure of rev-list and signals failure to the remote end. - If pack-objects sees an error, it terminates with failure. Since this breaks the pipe to rev-list, rev-list is killed with SIGPIPE. upload-pack reads its input until EOF, then collects the exit codes of the child processes, notices their failures, and signals failure to the remote end. - If upload-pack itself dies unexpectedly, pack-objects is killed with SIGPIPE, and subsequently also rev-list. The upshot of this is that precise monitoring of child processes is not required because both terminate if either one of them dies unexpectedly. This allows us to use finish_command() and finish_async() instead of an explicit waitpid(2) call. The change is smaller than it looks because most of it only reduces the indentation of a large part of the inner loop.

upload-pack: Use finish_{command,async}() instead of waitpid().

upload-pack spawns two processes, rev-list and pack-objects, and carefully
monitors their status so that it can report failure to the remote end.
This change removes the complicated procedures on the grounds of the
following observations:

- If everything is OK, rev-list closes its output pipe end, upon which
  pack-objects (which reads from the pipe) sees EOF and terminates itself,
  closing its output (and error) pipes. upload-pack reads from both until
  it sees EOF in both. It collects the exit codes of the child processes
  (which indicate success) and terminates successfully.

- If rev-list sees an error, it closes its output and terminates with
  failure. pack-objects sees EOF in its input and terminates successfully.
  Again upload-pack reads its inputs until EOF. When it now collects
  the exit codes of its child processes, it notices the failure of rev-list
  and signals failure to the remote end.

- If pack-objects sees an error, it terminates with failure. Since this
  breaks the pipe to rev-list, rev-list is killed with SIGPIPE.
  upload-pack reads its input until EOF, then collects the exit codes of
  the child processes, notices their failures, and signals failure to the
  remote end.

- If upload-pack itself dies unexpectedly, pack-objects is killed with
  SIGPIPE, and subsequently also rev-list.

The upshot of this is that precise monitoring of child processes is not
required because both terminate if either one of them dies unexpectedly.
This allows us to use finish_command() and finish_async() instead of
an explicit waitpid(2) call.

The change is smaller than it looks because most of it only reduces the
indentation of a large part of the inner loop.
