Test the new method by loading all the objects in the sample ODB with a
full-read and a header-only read, and comparing the types and sizes.

Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>

As requested, git_odb_read_header looks up an object on the ODB, but loads
only the header information (type & size) without loading any of the
actual file contents in memory.

It is significantly faster than doing a git_odb_read if you only need an
object's information and not its contents.

String mememory is now managed in a much more sane manner.

Fixes include:

	- git_person email and name is no longer limited to 64 characters
	- git_tree_entry filename is no longer limited to 255 characters
	- raw objects are properly opened & closed the minimum amount of
	times required for parsing
	- unit tests no longer leak
	- removed 5 other misc memory leaks as reported by Valgrind
	- tree writeback no longer segfaults on rare ocassions

The git_person struct is no longer public. It is now managed by the
library, and getter methods are in place to access its internal
attributes.

In particular, msvc complains thus:

    t0603-sort.c(23) : warning C4244: 'function' : conversion from \
        'time_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

Note that msvc, by default, defines time_t as a 64-bit type, whereas
srand() is expecting an (32-bit) unsigned int. In order to suppress
the warning, we simply cast the return value of the time() function
call to 'unsigned int'.

Since commit 70aab459, the msvc and MinGW builds have relied on
the built-in implementation of ntohl() and htonl(), rather than
linking the wsock32 library. The new index manipulation code now
calls ntohs()/htons() in addition to ntohl()/htonl(), so we need
to provide a built-in implementation of the 16-bit functions.

The new 'git_index' structure is an in-memory representation
of a git index on disk; the 'git_index_entry' structures represent
each one of the file entries on the index.

The following calls for index instantiation have been added:

	git_index_alloc(): instantiate a new index structure
	git_index_free(): free an existing index
	git_index_clear(): clear all the entires in an existing file

The following calls for index reading and writing have been added:

	git_index_read(): update the contents of the index structure from
					  its file on disk.

		Internally implemented through:
			git_index__parse()

	Index files are stored on disk in network byte order; all integer fields
	inside them are properly converted to the machine's byte order when
	loading them in memory. The parsing engine also distinguishes
	between normal index entries and extended entries with 2 extra bytes
	of flags.

	The 'TREE' extension for index entries is also loaded into memory:
	Tree caches stored in Index files are loaded into the
	'git_index_tree' structure pointed by the 'tree' pointer inside
	'git_index'.

	'index->tree' points to the root node of the tree cache; the full tree
	can be traversed through each of the node's 'tree->children'.

	Index files can be written back to disk through:

	git_index_write(): atomic writing of existing index objects
		backed by internal method git_index__write()

The following calls for entry manipulation have been added:

	git_index_add(): insert an empty entry to the index

	git_index_find(): search an entry by its path name

	git_index__append(): appends a new index entry to the end of the
						 list, resizing the entries array if required

	New index entries are always inserted at the end of the array; since the
	index entries must be sorted for it to be internally consistent, the
	index object is only sorted once, and if required, before accessing the
	whole entriea array (e.g. before writing to disk, before traversing,
	etc).

	git_index__remove_pos(): remove an index entry in a specific position

	git_index__sort(): sort the entries in the array by path name

	The entries array is sorted stably and in place using an
	insertion sort, which ought to be the most efficient approach
	since the entries array is always mostly-sorted.

The old 'git_revpool' object has been removed and
split into two distinct objects with separate
functionality, in order to have separate methods for
object management and object walking.

*	A new object 'git_repository' does the high-level
	management of a repository's objects (commits, trees,
	tags, etc) on top of a 'git_odb'.

	Eventually, it will also manage other repository
	attributes (e.g. tag resolution, references, etc).

	See: src/git/repository.h

*	A new external method
		'git_repository_lookup(repo, oid, type)'
	has been added to the 'git_repository' API.

	All object lookups (git_XXX_lookup()) are now
	wrappers to this method, and duplicated code
	has been removed. The method does automatic type
	checking and returns a generic 'git_revpool_object'
	that can be cast to any specific object.

	See: src/git/repository.h

*	The external methods for object parsing of repository
	objects (git_XXX_parse()) have been removed.

	Loading objects from the repository is now managed
	through the 'lookup' functions. These objects are
	loaded with minimal information, and the relevant
	parsing is done automatically when the user requests
	any of the parsed attributes through accessor methods.

	An attribute has been added to 'git_repository' in
	order to force the parsing of all the repository objects
	immediately after lookup.

	See: src/git/commit.h
	See: src/git/tag.h
	See: src/git/tree.h

*	The previous walking functionality of the revpool
	is now found in 'git_revwalk', which does the actual
	revision walking on a repository; the attributes
	when walking through commits in a database have been
	decoupled from the actual commit objects.
	This increases performance when accessing commits
	during the walk and allows to have several
	'git_revwalk' instances working at the same time on
	top of the same repository, without having to load
	commits in memory several times.

	See: src/git/revwalk.h

*	The old 'git_revpool_table' has been renamed to
	'git_hashtable' and now works as a generic hashtable
	with support for any kind of object and custom hash
	functions.

	See: src/hashtable.h

*	All the relevant unit tests have been updated, renamed
	and grouped accordingly.
