Derrick Stolee 2ca245f8be csum-file.h: increase hashfile buffer size
The hashfile API uses a hard-coded buffer size of 8KB and has ever since
it was introduced in c38138c (git-pack-objects: write the pack files
with a SHA1 csum, 2005-06-26). It performs a similar function to the
hashing buffers in read-cache.c, but that code was updated from 8KB to
128KB in f279894 (read-cache: make the index write buffer size 128K,
2021-02-18). The justification there was that do_write_index() improves
from 1.02s to 0.72s. Since our end goal is to have the index writing
code use the hashfile API, we need to unify this buffer size to avoid a
performance regression.

There is a buffer, 'check_buffer', that is used to verify the check_fd
file descriptor. When this buffer increases to 128K to fit the data
being flushed, it causes the stack to overflow the limits placed in the
test suite. To avoid issues with stack size, move both 'buffer' and
'check_buffer' to be heap pointers within 'struct hashfile'. The
'check_buffer' member is left as NULL unless check_fd is set in
hashfd_check(). Both buffers are cleared as part of finalize_hashfile()
which also frees the full structure.

Since these buffers are now on the heap, we can adjust their size based
on the needs of the consumer. In particular, callers to
hashfd_throughput() are expecting to report progress indicators as the
buffer flushes. These callers would prefer the smaller 8k buffer to
avoid large delays between updates, especially for users with slower
networks. When the progress indicator is not used, the larger buffer is
preferrable.

By adding a new trace2 region in the chunk-format API, we can see that
the writing portion of 'git multi-pack-index write' lowers from ~1.49s
to ~1.47s on a Linux machine. These effects may be more pronounced or
diminished on other filesystems. The end-to-end timing is too noisy to
have a definitive change either way.
