[PATCH 09/18] alternates: provide helper for adding to alternates list

From

The submodule code wants to temporarily add an alternate object store to our in-memory alt_odb list, but does it manually. Let's provide a helper so it can reuse the code in link_alt_odb_entry().

While we're adding our new add_to_alternates_memory(), let's document add_to_alternates_file(), as the two are related.
