[PATCHv5 03/14] Speed up git notes lookup

From

From: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>

To avoid looking up each and every commit in the notes ref's tree object, which is very expensive, speed things up by slurping the tree object's contents into a hash_map.

The idea for the hashmap singleton is from David Reiss, initial benchmarking by Jeff King.

Note: the implementation allows for arbitrary entries in the notes
tree object, ignoring those that do not reference a valid object.  This
allows you to annotate arbitrary branches, or objects.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Junio C Hamano: fixed an obvious error in initialize_hash_map()
