[PATCH 2/6] commit-graph.h: store object directory in 'struct commit_graph'

From

In-Reply-To
<cover.1580424766.git.me@ttaylorr.com>

There are lots of places in 'commit-graph.h' where a function either has (or almost has) a full 'struct object_directory *', accesses '->path', and then throws away the rest of the struct.

This can cause headaches when comparing the locations of object directories across alternates (e.g., in the case of deciding if two commit-graph layers can be merged). These paths are normalized with 'normalize_path_copy()' which mitigates some comparison issues, but not all [1].

Instead of getting rid of the 'struct object_directory *', store that insead of a 'char *odb' in 'struct commit_graph'. Once the 'struct write_commit_graph_context' has an object_directory pointer, too, this will allow calling code to replace these error-prone path comparisons with raw pointer comparisons, thereby circumventing any normalization-related errors. This will be introduced in a subsequent patch.

[1]: In my testing, for example, I can get one side of the commit-graph code to fill object_dir with "./objects" and the other with just "objects".
