Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the
way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed
the object representation details to too many places. Remove it
while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in
sha1_file.c.

Describe what to implement in fetch() and fetch_ref() for
pull backend writers a bit better.

This adds support to pull.c for requesting a reference and writing it to a
file. All of the git-*-pull programs get stubs for now.

This addresses a concern raised by Jason McMullan in the mailing
list discussion. After retrieving and storing a potentially
deltified object, pull logic tries to check and fulfil its delta
dependency. When the pull procedure is killed at this point,
however, there was no easy way to recover by re-running pull,
since next run would have found that we already have that
deltified object and happily reported success, without really
checking its delta dependency is satisfied.
This patch introduces --recover option to git-*-pull family
which causes them to re-validate dependency of deltified objects
we are fetching. A new test t5100-delta-pull.sh covers such a
failure mode.

When a remote repository is deltified, we need to get the
objects that a deltified object we want to obtain is based upon.
The initial parts of each retrieved SHA1 file is inflated and
inspected to see if it is deltified, and its base object is
asked from the remote side when it is. Since this partial
inflation and inspection has a small performance hit, it can
optionally be skipped by giving -d flag to git-*-pull commands.
This flag should be used only when the remote repository is
known to have no deltified objects.
Rsync transport does not have this problem since it fetches
everything the remote side has.

This moves the private "say()" function to pull.c, renames it to
"pull_say()", and introduces a global variable "get_verbosely" that
makes the pull backends report what they fetch. The -v option is
added to git-rpull and git-http-pull to match git-local-pull.
The documentation is updated to describe these pull commands.

The method for deciding what to pull is useful separately from any of the
ways of actually fetching the objects.
So split out "pull" functionality from http-pull and rpull
