[PATCH 06/16] reachable: clear pending array after walking it

We add a number of objects to our "pending" array, and then process it with a combination of get_revision and walking the pending array ourselves (to catch any non-commits). The commits in the pending array are cleaned up automatically by prepare_revision_walk, but we essentially leak any other objects (they are technically still reachable from rev_info, but no callers ever look at them or bother to clean them up).

This is not a huge deal in practice, as the number of non-commits tends to be small. However, a future patch will broaden this considerably. Let's call object_array_clear to free the memory.
