Hoist ObjectIdSet up to lib as part of the public API and add
the interface to some common types like PackIndex and JGit custom
ObjectId map types. This cleans up wrapper code in a number of
places by allowing direct use of the types as an ObjectIdSet.
Future commits can now rely on ObjectIdSet as a simple read-only
type to check a set of objects from a number of storage options.

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.

Per CQ 3448 this is the initial contribution of the JGit project
to eclipse.org. It is derived from the historical JGit repository
at commit 3a2dd9921c.
