To paraphrase @peff:

You can get both size and type from a packed object reasonably cheaply.
If you have:

* An object that is not a delta; both type and size are available in the
  packfile header.
* An object that is a delta. The packfile type will be OBJ_*_DELTA, and
  you have to resolve back to the base to find the real type. That means
  potentially a lot of packfile index lookups, but each one is
  relatively cheap. For the size, you inflate the first few bytes of the
  delta, whose header will tell you the resulting size of applying the
  delta to the base.

For simplicity, we just decompress the whole delta for now.

Consolidate text buffer functions

There are many scattered functions that look into the contents of
buffers to do various text manipulations (such as escaping or
unescaping data, calculating text stats, guessing if content is
binary, etc).  This groups all those functions together into a
new file and converts the code to use that.

This has two enhancements to existing functionality.  The old
text stats function is significantly rewritten and the BOM
detection code was extended (although largely we can't deal with
anything other than a UTF8 BOM).

Fix uninitialized variable

clang-SVN HEAD kindly provided my the info, that sm_repo maybe
uninitialized when we want to free it (If the expression in line 358 or
359/360 evaluate to true, we jump to "cleanup", where we'd use sm_repo
uninitialized).

`GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES` shell var.

The Great Renaming of 2012

This makes the first OID param of the ODB callback a const pointer
and also propogates that change all the way to the backends.

Includes typedef for git_direction, and renames for
GIT_DIR_[FETCH|PUSH] to GIT_DIRECTION_(\1).
