[PATCH v2 1/4] sha1-file: introduce no-lazy-fetch has_object()

[Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com>]

There have been a few bugs wherein Git fetches missing objects whenever
the existence of an object is checked, even though it does not need to
perform such a fetch. To resolve these bugs, we could look at all the
places that has_object_file() (or a similar function) is used. As a
first step, introduce a new function has_object() that checks for the
existence of an object, with a default behavior of not fetching if the
object is missing and the repository is a partial clone. As we verify
each has_object_file() (or similar) usage, we can replace it with
has_object(), and we will know that we are done when we can delete
has_object_file() (and the other similar functions).

Also, the new function has_object() has more appropriate defaults:
besides not fetching, it also does not recheck packed storage.
