[PATCH 1/3] refactor refs_from_alternate_cb to allow passing extra data

The foreach_alt_odb function triggers a callback for each alternate object db we have, with room for a single void pointer as data. Currently, we always call refs_from_alternate_cb as the callback function, and then pass another callback (to receive each ref individually) as the void pointer.

This has two problems:
  1. C technically forbids stuffing a function pointer into
     a "void *". In practice, this probably doesn't matter
     on any architectures git runs on, but it never hurts to
     follow the letter of the law.
  2. There is no room for an extra data pointer. Indeed, the
     alternate_ref_fn that refs_from_alternate_cb calls
     takes a void* for data, but we always pass it NULL.

Instead, let's properly stuff our function pointer into a data struct, which also leaves room for an extra caller-supplied data pointer. And to keep things simple for existing callers, let's make a for_each_alternate_ref function that takes care of creating the extra struct.
