[PATCH v4 01/13] repository: introduce parsed objects field

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

Convert the existing global cache for parsed objects (obj_hash) into
repository-specific parsed object caches. Existing code that uses
obj_hash are modified to use the parsed object cache of
the_repository; future patches will use the parsed object caches of
other repositories.

Another future use case for a pool of objects is ease of memory management
in revision walking: If we can free the rev-list related memory early in
pack-objects (e.g. part of repack operation) then it could lower memory
pressure significantly when running on large repos. While this has been
discussed on the mailing list lately, this series doesn't implement this.
