[PATCH v6 0/9] packfile: avoid using the 'the_repository' global variable

[Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>]

The `packfile.c` file uses the global variable 'the_repository' extensively
throughout the code. Let's remove all usecases of this, by modifying the
required functions to accept a 'struct repository' instead. This is to clean up
usage of global state.

The first 3 patches are mostly internal to `packfile.c`, we add the repository
field to the `packed_git` struct and this is used to clear up some useages of
the global variables.

The next 3 patches are more disruptive, they modify the function definition of
`odb_pack_name`, `has_object[_kept]_pack` and `for_each_packed_object` to receive
a repository, helping remove other usages of 'the_repository' variable.

Finally, the last two patches deal with global config values. These values are
localized.

For v5/6 onwards, I've rebased the series off the new master: 8f8d6eee53 (The
seventh batch, 2024-11-01), as a dependency for this series 'jk/dumb-http-finalize'
was merged to master. I've found no conflicts while merging with seen & next. But
since this series does touch multiple files, there could be future conflicts.

Changes in v6:
- Lazy load repository settings in packfile.c. This ensures that the settings are
available for sure and we do not rely on callees setting it.
- Use `size_t` for `delta_base_cache_limit`.

Changes in v5:
- Move packed_git* settings to repo_settings to ensure we don't keep reparsing the
settings in `use_pack`.

Changes in v4:
- Renamed the repository field within `packed_git` and `multi_pack_index` from
`r` to `repo`, while keeping function parameters to be `r`.
- Fixed bad braces. 

Changes in v3:
- Improved commit messages. In the first commit to talk about how packed_git
struct could also be part of the alternates of a repository. In the 7th commit
to talk about the motive behind removing the global variable.
- Changed 'packed_git->repo' to 'packed_git->r' to keep it consistent with the
rest of the code base.
- Replaced 'the_repository' with locally available access to the repository
struct in multiple regions.
- Removed unecessary inclusion of the 'repository.h' header file by forward
declaring the 'repository' struct.
- Replace memcpy with hashcpy.
- Change the logic in the 7th patch to use if else statements.
- Added an extra commit to cleanup `pack-bitmap.c`. 

Karthik Nayak (9):
  packfile: add repository to struct `packed_git`
  packfile: use `repository` from `packed_git` directly
  packfile: pass `repository` to static function in the file
  packfile: pass down repository to `odb_pack_name`
  packfile: pass down repository to `has_object[_kept]_pack`
  packfile: pass down repository to `for_each_packed_object`
  config: make `delta_base_cache_limit` a non-global variable
  config: make `packed_git_(limit|window_size)` non-global variables
  midx: add repository to `multi_pack_index` struct

         this value from the repository config, since the value is only used once
         in the entire subsystem.
     
    -    The type of the value is changed from `size_t` to an `unsigned long`
    -    since the default value is small enough to fit inside the latter on all

         These changes are made to remove the usage of `delta_base_cache_limit`
         as a global variable in `packfile.c`. This brings us one step closer to
         removing the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` definition in `packfile.c`
