PackWriter: Support reuse of entire packs

PackWriter: Support reuse of entire packs

The most expensive part of packing a repository for transport to
another system is enumerating all of the objects in the repository.
Once this gets to the size of the linux-2.6 repository (1.8 million
objects), enumeration can take several CPU minutes and costs a lot
of temporary working set memory.

Teach PackWriter to efficiently reuse an existing "cached pack"
by answering a clone request with a thin pack followed by a larger
cached pack appended to the end.  This requires the repository
owner to first construct the cached pack by hand, and record the
tip commits inside of $GIT_DIR/objects/info/cached-packs:

  cd $GIT_DIR
  root=$(git rev-parse master)
  tmp=objects/.tmp-$$
  names=$(echo $root | git pack-objects --keep-true-parents --revs $tmp)
  for n in $names; do
    chmod a-w $tmp-$n.pack $tmp-$n.idx
    touch objects/pack/pack-$n.keep
    mv $tmp-$n.pack objects/pack/pack-$n.pack
    mv $tmp-$n.idx objects/pack/pack-$n.idx
  done

  (echo "+ $root";
   for n in $names; do echo "P $n"; done;
   echo) >>objects/info/cached-packs

  git repack -a -d

When a clone request needs to include $root, the corresponding
cached pack will be copied as-is, rather than enumerating all of
the objects that are reachable from $root.

For a linux-2.6 kernel repository that should be about 376 MiB,
the above process creates two packs of 368 MiB and 38 MiB[1].
This is a local disk usage increase of ~26 MiB, due to reduced
delta compression between the large cached pack and the smaller
recent activity pack.  The overhead is similar to 1 full copy of
the compressed project sources.

With this cached pack in hand, JGit daemon completes a clone request
in 1m17s less time, but a slightly larger data transfer (+2.39 MiB):

Repository owners can periodically refresh their cached packs by
repacking their repository, folding all newer objects into a larger
cached pack.  Since repacking is already considered to be a normal
Git maintenance activity, this isn't a very big burden.
