[PATCH v3 09/10] pack-revindex: ensure that on-disk reverse indexes are given precedence

When an on-disk reverse index exists, there is no need to generate one in memory. In fact, doing so can be slow, and require large amounts of the heap.

Let's make sure that we treat the on-disk reverse index with precedence (i.e., that when it exists, we don't bother trying to generate an equivalent one in memory) by teaching Git how to conditionally die() when generating a reverse index in memory.

Then, add a test to ensure that when (a) an on-disk reverse index exists, and (b) when setting GIT_TEST_REV_INDEX_DIE_IN_MEMORY, that we do not die, implying that we read from the on-disk one.
