Teach list-objects the "tree:0" filter which allows for filtering
out all tree and blob objects (unless other objects are explicitly
specified by the user). The purpose of this patch is to allow smaller
partial clones.
The name of this filter - tree:0 - does not explicitly specify that
it also filters out all blobs, but this should not cause much confusion
because blobs are not at all useful without the trees that refer to
them.
I also considered only:commits as a name, but this is inaccurate because
it suggests that annotated tags are omitted, but actually they are
included.
The name "tree:0" allows later filtering based on depth, i.e. "tree:1"
would filter out all but the root tree and blobs. In order to avoid
confusion between 0 and capital O, the documentation was worded in a
somewhat round-about way that also hints at this future improvement to
the feature.

deref_tag() prints a warning if the object that a tag refers to does not
exist. However, when a partial clone has an annotated tag from its
promisor remote, but not the object that it refers to, printing a
warning on such a tag is incorrect.
This occurs, for example, when the checkout that happens after a partial
clone causes some objects to be fetched - and as part of the fetch, all
local refs are read. The test included in this patch demonstrates this
situation.
Therefore, do not print a warning in this case.

In handle_commit(), it is fatal for an annotated tag to point to a
non-existent object. --exclude-promisor-objects should relax this rule
and allow non-existent objects that are promisor objects, but this is
not the case. Update handle_commit() to tolerate this situation.
This was observed when cloning from a repository with an annotated tag
pointing to a blob. The test included in this patch demonstrates this
case.

The commit that introduced the partial clone feature - 548719fbdc
("clone: partial clone", 2017-12-08) - excluded connectivity checks
for partial clones, but this also meant that it is possible for a clone
to succeed, yet not have all objects either present or promised.
Specifically, if cloning with --filter=blob:none from a repository that
has a tag pointing to a blob, and the blob is not sent in the packfile,
the clone will pass, even if the blob is not referenced by any tree in
the packfile.
Turn on connectivity checks for partial clone.

A filter line in a request to upload-pack filters out objects regardless
of whether they are directly referenced by a "want" line or not. This
means that cloning with "--filter=blob:none" (or another filter that
excludes blobs) from a repository with at least one ref pointing to a
blob (for example, the Git repository itself) results in output like the
following:
error: missing object referenced by 'refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub'
and if that particular blob is not referenced by a fetched tree, the
resulting clone fails fsck because there is no object from the remote to
vouch that the missing object is a promisor object.
Update both the protocol and the upload-pack implementation to include
all explicitly specified "want" objects in the packfile regardless of
the filter specification.

When doing a partial clone or fetch with transfer.fsckobjects=1, use the
--fsck-objects instead of the --strict flag when invoking index-pack so
that links are not checked, only objects. This is because incomplete
links are expected when doing a partial clone or fetch.

Add test to t5616 to bulk fetch missing objects following
a partial fetch. A technique like this could be used in
a pre-command hook for example.
