[PATCH v3 9/9] builtin/repack.c: pass `--refs-snapshot` when writing bitmaps

To prevent the race described in an earlier patch, generate and pass a reference snapshot to the multi-pack bitmap code, if we are writing one from `git repack`.

This patch is mostly limited to creating a temporary file, and then calling for_each_ref(). Except we try to minimize duplicates, since doing so can drastically reduce the size in network-of-forks style repositories. In the kernel's fork network (the repository containing all objects from the kernel and all its forks), deduplicating the references drops the snapshot size from 934 MB to just 12 MB.

But since we're handling duplicates in this way, we have to make sure that we preferred references (those listed in pack.preferBitmapTips) before non-preferred ones (to avoid recording an object which is pointed at by a preferred tip as non-preferred).

We accomplish this by doing separate passes over the references: first visiting each prefix in pack.preferBitmapTips, and then over the rest of the references.
