[PATCH v2 4/9] odb: simplify calling `link_alt_odb_entry()`

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Callers of `link_alt_odb_entry()` are expected to pass in three
different paths:

  - The (potentially relative) path of the object directory that we're
    about to add.

  - The base that should be used to resolve a relative object directory
    path.

  - The resolved path to the object database's objects directory.

Juggling those three paths makes the calling convention somewhat hard to
grok at first.

As it turns out, the third parameter is redundant: we always pass in the
resolved path of the object database's primary source, and we already
pass in the database itself. So instead, we can resolve that path in the
function itself.

One downside of this is that one caller of `link_alt_odb_entry()` calls
this function in a loop, so we were able to resolve the directory a
single time, only. But ultimately, we only ever end up with a rather
limited number of alternates anyway, so the extra couple of cycles we
save feels more like a micro optimization.

Refactor the code accordingly.
