Since 8d5d2a34df (http-fetch: support fetching packfiles by URL, 2020-06-10), packfile URI downloads have been staged at objects/pack/pack-<hash>.pack.temp.
The path is derived from the advertised pack hash. Two processes fetching the same pack into a shared object database therefore open the same file for append. Their writes can corrupt the temporary pack. If one process arrives after the other has completed the download, it may instead try to resume at EOF, which some HTTP servers reject with 416.
Use the tempfile API to give direct packfile URI downloads unique temporary files. Keep the deterministic path for ordinary dumb HTTP pack requests, which use it to resume a partial download left by an earlier invocation.
This means that a packfile URI download cannot be resumed by a later invocation. A retry starts with an empty temporary file instead.
Add a test which pauses one process after downloading the pack and starts another process using the same object database.
