[PATCH v2 1/5] speed up alt_odb_usable() with many alternates

From

With many alternates, the duplicate check in alt_odb_usable() wastes many cycles doing repeated fspathcmp() on every existing alternate. Use a khash to speed up lookups by odb->path.

Since the kh_put_* API uses the supplied key without duplicating it, we also take advantage of it to replace both xstrdup() and strbuf_release() in link_alt_odb_entry() with strbuf_detach() to avoid the allocation and copy.

In a test repository with 50K alternates and each of those 50K alternates having one alternate each (for a total of 100K total alternates); this speeds up lookup of a non-existent blob from over 16 minutes to roughly 2.7 seconds on my busy workstation.

Note: all underlying git object directories were small and
unpacked with only loose objects and no packs.  Having to load
packs increases times significantly.
