A bitmap index contains bitmaps for a set of commits in a pack file.
Creating a bitmap for every commit is too expensive, so heuristics
select the most "important" commits. The most recent commits are the
most valuable. To clone a repository only those for the branch tips are
needed. When fetching, only commits since the last fetch are needed.

The commit selection heuristics generally work, but for some
repositories the number of selected commits is prohibitively high. One
example is the MSM 3.10 Linux kernel. With over 1 million commits on
2820 branches, the current heuristics resulted in +36k selected commits.
Each uncompressed bitmap for that repository is ~413k, making it
difficult to complete a GC operation in available memory.

The benefit of creating bitmaps over the entire history of a repository
like the MSM 3.10 Linux kernel isn't clear. For that repository, most
history for the last year appears to be in the last 100k commits.
Limiting bitmap commit selection to just those commits reduces the count
of selected commits from ~36k to ~10.5k. Dropping bitmaps for older
commits does not affect object counting times for clones or for fetches
on clients that are reasonably up-to-date.

This patch defines a new "bitmapCommitRange" PackConfig parameter to
limit the commit selection process when building bitmaps. The range
starts with the most recent commit and walks backwards. A range of 10k
considers only the 10000 most recent commits. A range of zero creates
bitmaps only for branch tips. A range of -1 (the default) does not limit
the range--all commits in the pack are used in the commit selection
process.

Previously an equality check was performed so an exception would
be thrown if any other options were set.

Package was renamed, so I had to update the imports. Also, I verified
bitmap serialization was still compatible.

This breaks all existing callers once. Applications are not supposed
to build against the internal storage API unless they can accept API
churn and make necessary updates as versions change.

A pack bitmap index is an additional index of compressed
bitmaps of the object graph. Furthermore, a logical API of the index
functionality is included, as it is expected to be used by the
PackWriter.

Compressed bitmaps are created using the javaewah library, which is a
word-aligned compressed variant of the Java bitset class based on
run-length encoding. The library only works with positive integer
values. Thus, the maximum number of ObjectIds in a pack file that
this index can currently support is limited to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Every ObjectId is given an integer mapping. The integer is the
position of the ObjectId in the complete ObjectId list, sorted
by offset, for the pack file. That integer is what the bitmaps
use to reference the ObjectId. Currently, the new index format can
only be used with pack files that contain a complete closure of the
object graph e.g. the result of a garbage collection.

The index file includes four bitmaps for the Git object types i.e.
commits, trees, blobs, and tags. In addition, a collection of
bitmaps keyed by an ObjectId is also included. The bitmap for each entry
in the collection represents the full closure of ObjectIds reachable
from the keyed ObjectId (including the keyed ObjectId itself). The
bitmaps are further compressed by XORing the current bitmaps against
prior bitmaps in the index, and selecting the smallest representation.
The XOR'd bitmap and offset from the current entry to the position
of the bitmap to XOR against is the actual representation of the entry
in the index file. Each entry contains one byte, which is currently
used to note whether the bitmap should be blindly reused.
