The `pack-objects` builtin is capable of writing out bitmap indexes (.bitmap) next to the their corresponding packfile, as part of the process of actually generating the packfile.

This is a very efficient operation because all the required data for writing the bitmap index (commit traversal list, list of all objects in a packfile, sorted index for the packfile, and types for all objects in the packfile) is readily available in memory as part of the process of building the packfile itself.

There are however cases when we want to generate a bitmap index for a packfile that already exists on disk (i.e. one we're not writing from scratch). This new git builtin implements the bitmap index equivalent of `git index-pack`: it writes a `.bitmap` file given a pair of existing `.pack` and `.idx` files.

	NOTE that `write-bitmap` requires the packfile to have been indexed
	beforehand. If the packfile doesn't have its corresponding `.idx`
	file, `git index-pack` must be called before `write-bitmap` can
	work.

The process of generating bitmaps for an existing packfile is as follows:

	1. Load the existing pack index in memory. The `.idx` for the
	packfile is loaded into a hash table in mememory so it can be
	efficiently queried. As part of this loading process, the real type
	for each object in the packfile is resolved (this implies resolving
	deltas, which can make this process rather expensive).
	2. Find the full closure for the packfile. All the objects from the
	packfile that have been loaded in memory are iterated, looking for
	commits. These commits are parsed, and their parents are marked as
	such to ensure that
		a) there is a full closure in the packfile, and no commit has a
		dangling parent pointer
		b) we can find the set of "tips" for the packfile, i.e., the set
		of commits that don't have any commits pointing to them
	3. The "tips" of the packfile are then used as the roots to perform a
	normal revision walk. The result of this revision walk is the list
	of commits that will be used by `bitmap_writer_select_commits` when
	selecting which commits are going to be bitmapped.
	4. We build and write the bitmap index in the same way that
	`pack-objects` does, given that we have all the required metadata:
		- an array of all the objects in the packfile, in index order
		- the types of all these objects
		- an array with a walk-ordering of all the commits in the
			packfile, which will be used for selection
		- a hash table to efficiently look up objects in the index
	See the previous patch "pack-objects: implement bitmap writing" for
	details on how the bitmap computation happens.
