[PATCH v4 2/3] packed-backend: extract snapshot allocation in `load_contents`

"load_contents" would choose which way to load the content of the "packed-refs". However, we cannot directly use this function when checking the consistency due to we don't want to open the file. And we also need to reuse the logic to avoid causing repetition.

Let's create a new helper function "allocate_snapshot_buffer" to extract the snapshot allocation logic in "load_contents" and update the "load_contents" to align with the behavior.
