Retry loose object read upon "Stale file handle" exception
When reading loose objects over NFS it is possible that the OS syscall
would fail with ESTALE errors: This happens when the open file
descriptor no longer refers to a valid file.
Notoriously it is possible to hit this scenario when git data is shared
among multiple clients, for example by multiple gerrit instances in HA.
If one of the two clients performs a GC operation that would cause the
packing and then the pruning of loose objects, the other client might
still hold a reference to those objects, which would cause an exception
to bubble up the stack.
The Linux NFS FAQ[1] (at point A.10), suggests that the proper way to
handle such ESTALE scenarios is to:
"[...] close the file or directory where the error occurred, and reopen
it so the NFS client can resolve the pathname again and retrieve the new
file handle."
In case of a stale file handle exception, we now attempt to read the
loose object again (up to 5 times), until we either succeed or encounter
a FileNotFoundException, in which case the search can continue to
Packfiles and alternates.
The limit of 5 provides an arbitrary upper bounds that is consistent to
the one chosen when handling stale file handles for packed-refs
files (see [2] for context).

BatchRefUpdate: Skip saving conflicting ref names and prefixes in memory
Rather than getting all ref names and prefixes and saving them
in memory to perform the check for conflicting names, rely on
RefDirectory.isNameConflicting as it is no longer an expensive
call after it was optimized in Ie994fc.
The old optimization to save ref names and prefixes in memory
was targeted towards making clones faster. With this change,
the clone performance is unaffected when tests were done with
repos containing many(~500k) refs.
Here are few recorded elapsed times for creating 10 branches
using BatchRefUpdate on NFS based repositories with varying
loose refs count. As seen here, this change helps improve the
BatchRefUpdate performance from O(n^2) to O(1).

This update improves the Gerrit notedb migration performance
as it uses BatchRefUpdate to write change meta refs similar to
the test performed above.

Update tests to record the number of events fired post-setup and only
assert for events fired during BatchRefUpdate.execute. For tests which
use writeLooseRef to setup refs, create new tests which assert the
number of RefsChangedEvent(s) rather than updating the existing ones
to call RefDirectory.exactRef as it changes the code path.

Avoid having to scan over ALL loose refs to determine if the
name is nested within or is a container of an existing reference.
This can get really expensive if there are too many loose refs.
Instead use exactRef and getRefsByPrefix which scan based on a
prefix.
With a simple shell script(like below) using jgit client to create
1k refs in a new repository on NFS, this change brings down the time
from 12mins to 7mins.
for ref in $(seq 1 1000); do
jgit branch "$ref"
done

Don't create the stream eagerly in lock(); that may cause JGit to
exceed OS or JVM limits on open file descriptors if many locks need
to be created, for instance when creating many refs. Instead create
the output stream only when one really needs to write something.

In a distributed setting, one can have multiple datacenters use
reftables for serving, while the ground truth for the Ref database is
administered centrally. In this setting, replication delays combined
with compaction can cause update-index ranges to overlap.
Such a setting is used at Google, and the JGit code already handles
this correctly (modulo a bugfix that applied in change I8f8215b99a).
Remove the restriction that was applied at FileReftableDatabase.

Fix PackInvalidException when fetch and repack run concurrently
We are running several servers with jGit. We need to run repack from
time to time to keep the repos performant. I.e. after push we test how
many small packs are in the repo and when a threshold is reached we run
the repack.
After upgrading jGit version we've found that if someone does the clone
at the time repack is running the clone sometimes (not always) fails
because the repack removes .pack file used by the clone. Server
exception and client error attached.
I've tracked down the cause and it seems to be introduced between jGit
5.2 (which we upgraded from) and 5.3 and being caused by this commit:
Move throw of PackInvalidException outside the catch -
afef866a44
The problem is that when the throw was inside of the try block the last
catch block catched the exception and called openFailed(false) method.
It is true that it called it with invalidate = false, which is wrong.
The real problem though is that with the throw outside of the try block
the openFail is not called at all and the fields activeWindows and
activeCopyRawData are not set to 0. Which affects the later called tests
like: if (++activeCopyRawData == 1 && activeWindows == 0).
The fix for this is relatively simple keeping the throw outside of the
try block and still having the invalid field set to true. I did
exhaustive testing of the change running concurrent clones and pushes
indefinitely and with the patch applied it never fails while without the
patch it takes relatively short to get the error.
