[PATCH 07/10] packfile: add kept-pack cache for find_kept_pack_entry()

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

In a recent patch we added a function 'find_kept_pack_entry()' to look for an object only among kept packs.

While this function avoids doing any lookup work in non-kept packs, it is still linear in the number of packs, since we have to traverse the linked list of packs once per object. Let's cache a reduced version of that list to save us time.

Note that this cache will last the lifetime of the program. We could invalidate it on reprepare_packed_git(), but there's not much point in being rigorous here:

  - we might already fail to notice new .keep packs showing up after the
    program starts. We only reprepare_packed_git() when we fail to find
    an object. But adding a new pack won't cause that to happen.
    Somebody repacking could add a new pack and delete an old one, but
    most of the time we'd have a descriptor or mmap open to the old
    pack anyway, so we might not even notice.
  - in pack-objects we already cache the .keep state at startup, since
    56dfeb6263 (pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early,
    2016-07-29). So this is just extending that concept further.
  - we don't have to worry about any packed_git being removed; we always
    keep the old structs around, even after reprepare_packed_git()
Here are p5303 results (as always, measured against the kernel):
