Jiang Xin 0e37abd2e8 pack-redundant: consistent sort method
SZEDER reported that test case t5323 has different test result on MacOS.
This is because `cmp_pack_list_reverse` cannot give identical result
when two pack being sorted has the same size of remaining_objects.

Changes to the sorting function will make consistent test result for
t5323.

The new algorithm to find redundant packs is a trade-off to save memory
resources, and the result of it may be different with old one, and may
be not the best result sometimes.  Update t5323 for the new algorithm.

Sun Chao 3084a01e5e pack-redundant: new algorithm to find min packs
When calling `git pack-redundant --all`, if there are too many local
packs and too many redundant objects within them, the too deep iteration
of `get_permutations` will exhaust all the resources, and the process of
`git pack-redundant` will be killed.

The following script could create a repository with too many redundant
packs, and running `git pack-redundant --all` in the `test.git` repo
will die soon.

    #!/bin/sh

    repo="$(pwd)/test.git"
    work="$(pwd)/test"
    i=1
    max=199

    if test -d "$repo" || test -d "$work"; then
    	echo >&2 "ERROR: '$repo' or '$work' already exist"
    	exit 1
    fi

    git init -q --bare "$repo"
    git --git-dir="$repo" config gc.auto 0
    git --git-dir="$repo" config transfer.unpackLimit 0
    git clone -q "$repo" "$work" 2>/dev/null

    while :; do
        cd "$work"
        echo "loop $i: $(date +%s)" >$i
        git add $i
        git commit -q -sm "loop $i"
        git push -q origin HEAD:master
        printf "\rCreate pack %4d/%d\t" $i $max
        if test $i -ge $max; then break; fi

        cd "$repo"
        git repack -q
        if test $(($i % 2)) -eq 0; then
            git repack -aq
            pack=$(ls -t $repo/objects/pack/*.pack | head -1)
            touch "${pack%.pack}.keep"
        fi
        i=$((i+1))
    done
    printf "\ndone\n"

To get the `min` unique pack list, we can replace the iteration in
`minimize` function with a new algorithm, and this could solve this
issue:

1. Get the unique and non_uniqe packs, add the unique packs to the
   `min` list.

2. Remove the objects of unique packs from non_unique packs, then each
   object left in the non_unique packs will have at least two copies.

3. Sort the non_unique packs by the objects' size, more objects first,
   and add the first non_unique pack to `min` list.

4. Drop the duplicated objects from other packs in the ordered
   non_unique pack list, and repeat step 3.

Some test cases will fail on Mac OS X. Mark them and will resolve in
later commit.
