Subject: [PATCH] index-pack: show progress while checking objects

```
When 'git index-pack' is run by 'git clone', its check_objects()
function usually doesn't take long enough to be a concern, but I just
run into a situation where it took about a minute or so: I
inadvertently put some memory pressure on my tiny laptop while cloning
linux.git, and then there was quite a long silence between the
"Resolving deltas" and "Checking connectivity" progress bars.

Show a progress bar during the loop of check_objects() to let the user
know that something is still going on.
