unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs

When running checkout, first prefetch all blobs that are to be updated
but are missing. This means that only one pack is downloaded during such
operations, instead of one per missing blob.

This operates only on the blob level - if a repository has a missing
tree, they are still fetched one at a time.

This does not use the delayed checkout mechanism introduced in commit
2841e8f ("convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol",
2017-06-30) due to significant conceptual differences - in particular,
for partial clones, we already know what needs to be fetched based on
the contents of the local repo alone, whereas for status=delayed, it is
the filter process that tells us what needs to be checked in the end.

sha1_file: support lazily fetching missing objects

Teach sha1_file to fetch objects from the remote configured in
extensions.partialclone whenever an object is requested but missing.

The fetching of objects can be suppressed through a global variable.
This is used by fsck and index-pack.

However, by default, such fetching is not suppressed. This is meant as a
temporary measure to ensure that all Git commands work in such a
situation. Future patches will update some commands to either tolerate
missing objects (without fetching them) or be more efficient in fetching
them.

In order to determine the code changes in sha1_file.c necessary, I
investigated the following:
 (1) functions in sha1_file.c that take in a hash, without the user
     regarding how the object is stored (loose or packed)
 (2) functions in packfile.c (because I need to check callers that know
     about the loose/packed distinction and operate on both differently,
     and ensure that they can handle the concept of objects that are
     neither loose nor packed)

(1) is handled by the modification to sha1_object_info_extended().

For (2), I looked at for_each_packed_object and others.  For
for_each_packed_object, the callers either already work or are fixed in
this patch:
 - reachable - only to find recent objects
 - builtin/fsck - already knows about missing objects
 - builtin/cat-file - warning message added in this commit

Callers of the other functions do not need to be changed:
 - parse_pack_index
   - http - indirectly from http_get_info_packs
   - find_pack_entry_one
     - this searches a single pack that is provided as an argument; the
       caller already knows (through other means) that the sought object
       is in a specific pack
 - find_sha1_pack
   - fast-import - appears to be an optimization to not store a file if
     it is already in a pack
   - http-walker - to search through a struct alt_base
   - http-push - to search through remote packs
 - has_sha1_pack
   - builtin/fsck - already knows about promisor objects
   - builtin/count-objects - informational purposes only (check if loose
     object is also packed)
   - builtin/prune-packed - check if object to be pruned is packed (if
     not, don't prune it)
   - revision - used to exclude packed objects if requested by user
   - diff - just for optimization

introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object

Introduce fetch-object, providing the ability to fetch one object from a
promisor remote.

This uses fetch-pack. To do this, the transport mechanism has been
updated with 2 flags, "from-promisor" to indicate that the resulting
pack comes from a promisor remote (and thus should be annotated as such
by index-pack), and "no-dependents" to indicate that only the objects
themselves need to be fetched (but fetching additional objects is
nevertheless safe).

Whenever "no-dependents" is used, fetch-pack will refrain from using any
object flags, because it is most likely invoked as part of a dynamic
object fetch by another Git command (which may itself use object flags).
An alternative to this is to leave fetch-pack alone, and instead update
the allocation of flags so that fetch-pack's flags never overlap with
any others, but this will end up shrinking the number of flags available
to nearly every other Git command (that is, every Git command that
accesses objects), so the approach in this commit was used instead.

This will be tested in a subsequent commit.
