pack-objects uses OPT_PARSE_LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT() to initialize the
a rev_info struct lazily before populating its filter member using the
--filter option values. It tracks whether the initialization is needed
using the .have_revs member of the callback data.
There is a better way: Use a stand-alone list_objects_filter_options
struct and build a rev_info struct with its .filter member after option
parsing. This allows using the simpler OPT_PARSE_LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER()
and getting rid of the extra callback mechanism.
Even simpler would be using a struct rev_info as before 5cb28270a1
(pack-objects: lazily set up "struct rev_info", don't leak, 2022-03-28),
but that would expose a memory leak caused by repo_init_revisions()
followed by release_revisions() without a setup_revisions() call in
between.
Using list_objects_filter_options also allows pushing the rev_info
struct into get_object_list(), where it arguably belongs. Either way,
this is all left for later.
