[PATCH 04/10] packed-backend: add "packed-refs" header consistency check

In "packed-backend.c::create_snapshot", if there is a header (the line which starts with '#'), we will check whether the line starts with "# pack-refs with:". As we are going to implement the header consistency check, we should port this check into "packed_fsck".

However, the above check is not enough, this is because "git pack-refs" will always write "PACKED_REFS_HEADER" which is a constant string to the "packed-refs" file. So, we should check the following things for the header.

1. If the header does not exist, we may report an error to the user
   because it should exist, but we do allow no header in "packed-refs"
   file. So, create a new fsck message "packedRefMissingHeader(INFO)" to
   warn the user and also keep compatibility.
2. If the header content does not start with "# packed-ref with:", we
   should report an error just like what "create_snapshot" does. So,
   create a new fsck message "badPackedRefHeader(ERROR)" for this.
3. If the header content is not the same as the constant string
   "PACKED_REFS_HEADER", ideally, we should report an error to the user.
   However, we allow other contents as long as the header content starts
   with "# packed-ref with:". To keep compatibility, create a new fsck
   message "unknownPackedRefHeader(INFO)" to warn about this. We may
   tighten this rule in the future.

In order to achieve above checks, read the "packed-refs" file via "strbuf_read_file". Like what "create_snapshot" and other functions do, we could split the line by finding the next newline in the buf. If we cannot find a newline, this is an error.

So, create a function "packed_fsck_ref_next_line" to find the next newline and if there is no such newline, use "packedRefEntryNotTerminated(INFO)" to report an error to the user.

Then, parse the first line to apply the above three checks. Update the test to excise the code.

However, when adding the new test for a bad header, the program will still die in the "create_snapshot" method. This is because we have checked the files-backend firstly and we use "parse_object" to check whether the object exists and whether the type is correct. This function will eventually call "create_snapshot" and "next_record" method, if there is something wrong with packed-backend, the program just dies.

It's bad to just die the program because we want to report the problems as many as possible. We should avoid checking object and its type when packed-backend is broken. So, we should first check the consistency of the packed-backend then for files-backend.

Add a new flag "safe_object_check" in "fsck_options", when there is anything wrong with the parsing process, set this flag to 0 to avoid checking objects in the later checks.
