[PATCH v2 4/5] index-pack, unpack-objects: add --not-so-strict for connectivity check

--not-so-strict only checks if all links from objects in the pack point to real objects (either in current repo, or from the pack itself). It's like check_everything_connected() except that:

 - it does not follow DAG in order
 - it can detect incomplete object islands
 - it seems to be faster than "rev-list --objects --all"
On my box, "rev-list --objects --all" takes 34 seconds. index-pack takes

215.25user 8.42system 1:32.31elapsed 242%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1357328maxresident)k 0inputs+1421016outputs (0major+1222987minor)pagefaults 0swaps

And index-pack --not-so-strict takes

pack 96a4e3befa40bf38eddc2d7c99246a59af4ad55d 229.75user 11.31system 1:42.50elapsed 235%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1876816maxresident)k 0inputs+1421016outputs (0major+1307989minor)pagefaults 0swaps

The overhead is about 10 seconds, just 1/3 of rev-list, which makes it in a better position to replace check_everything_connected(). If this holds true for general case, it could reduce fetch time by a little bit.
