From: Xing Xin <xingxin.xx@bytedance.com>

When using the bundle-uri mechanism with a bundle list containing multiple interrelated bundles, we encountered a bug where tips from downloaded bundles were not discovered, thus resulting in rather slow clones. This was particularly problematic when employing the heuristic `creationTokens`.

And this is easy to reproduce. Suppose we have a repository with a single branch `main` pointing to commit `A`, firstly we create a base bundle with

  git bundle create base.bundle main

Then let's add a new commit `B` on top of `A`, so that an incremental bundle for `main` can be created with

  git bundle create incr.bundle A..main
Now we can generate a bundle list with the following content:
  [bundle]
      version = 1
      mode = all
      heuristic = creationToken
  [bundle "base"]
      uri = base.bundle
      creationToken = 1
  [bundle "incr"]
      uri = incr.bundle
      creationToken = 2

A fresh clone with the bundle list above would give the expected `refs/bundles/main` pointing at `B` in new repository, in other words we already had everything locally from the bundles, but git would still download everything from server as if we got nothing.

So why the `refs/bundles/main` is not discovered? After some digging I found that:

1. Bundles in bundle list are downloaded to local files via
   `download_bundle_list` or via `fetch_bundles_by_token` for the
   creationToken heuristic case.
2. Then it tries to unbundle each bundle via `unbundle_from_file`, which
   is called by `unbundle_all_bundles` or called within
   `fetch_bundles_by_token` for the creationToken heuristic case.
3. Here, we first read the bundle header to get all the prerequisites
   for the bundle, this is done in `read_bundle_header`.
4. Then we call `unbundle`, which calls `verify_bundle` to ensure that
   the repository does indeed contain the prerequisites mentioned in the
   bundle.
5. The `verify_bundle` will call `parse_object`, within which the
   `prepare_packed_git` or `reprepare_packed_git` is eventually called,
   which means that the `raw_object_store->packed_git` data gets filled
   in and ``packed_git_initialized` is set. This also means consecutive
   calls to `prepare_packed_git` doesn't re-initiate
   `raw_object_store->packed_git` since `packed_git_initialized` already
   is set.
6. If `unbundle` succeeds, it writes some refs via `refs_update_ref`
   with `REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION` set. So the bundle refs which can
   target arbitrary objects are written to the repository.
7. Finally in `do_fetch_pack_v2`, `mark_complete_and_common_ref` and
   `mark_tips` are called with `OBJECT_INFO_QUICK` set to find local
   tips. Here it won't call `reprepare_packed_git` anymore so it would
   fail to parse oids that only reside in the last bundle.

Back to the example above, when unbunding `incr.bundle`, `base.pack` is enlisted to `packed_git` bacause of the prerequisites to verify. While we can not find `B` for negotiation at a latter time because `B` exists in `incr.pack` which is not enlisted in `packed_git`.

This commit fixes this bug by dropping the `REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION` flag when writing bundle refs, so we can:

1. Ensure that the bundle refs we are writing are pointing to valid
   objects.
2. Ensure all the tips from bundle refs can be correctly parsed.
And a set of negotiation related tests for bundle-uri are added.
