[PATCH 1/4] pack: make packed_git_mru global a value instead of a pointer

The MRU cache that keeps track of recently used packs is represented using two global variables:

	struct mru packed_git_mru_storage;
	struct mru *packed_git_mru = &packed_git_mru_storage;

Callers never assign to the packed_git_mru pointer, though, so we can simplify by eliminating it and using &packed_git_mru_storage (renamed to &packed_git_mru) directly. This variable is only used by the packfile subsystem, making this a relatively uninvasive change (and any new unadapted callers would trigger a compile error).

Noticed while moving these globals to the object_store struct.

I agree with the comments there that it would be nice to make this use list.h (#leftoverbits) and would be happy to read a patch doing that. Once we're done adapting the object store to work with arbitrary repositories we may come back to this, but I'd be happier if it's just already taken care of for us.
