[PATCH 13/19] object-file: get rid of `the_repository` in loose object iterators

In-Reply-To
<20250709-pks-object-file-wo-the-repository-v1-0-62627b55707f@pks.im>

The iterators for loose objects still rely on `the_repository`. Refactor them:

  - `for_each_loose_file_in_objdir()` is refactored so that the caller
    is now expected to pass an `odb_source` as parameter instead of the
    path to that source. Furthermore, it is renamed accordingly to
    `for_each_loose_file_in_source()`.
  - `for_each_loose_object()` is refactored to take in an object
    database now and calls the above function in a loop.
This allows us to get rid of the global dependency.
Adjust callers accordingly.
