[PATCH GSoC v3 4/8] fetch-object-info: use dedicated struct for the results

[Pablo Sabater <pabloosabaterr@gmail.com>]

fetch_object_info() collects information about N objects, but it stores
the results in an array of object_info. That struct holds the extended
parameters of read_object_info() (The optional outputs the caller wants
filled). Its pointers tell that function where to write the answers for
a single object. object_info is not meant to be the final storage, and
since fetch_object_info() does not call read_object_info(), there is no
reason to use it. Using it means allocating one scalar per object per
attribute just to have those pointers somewhere to point at.

Add struct fetch_object_info_results. The caller sets the wants_* flags
to say what it is interested in, and fetch_object_info() allocates one
array per attribute. A set wants_* flag means "asked for", while a
non-NULL array means "available". The caller releases the arrays with
free_fetch_object_info_results().

The object_info_options string list is no longer needed. Filtering
against the server's advertisement now sets local ask_* flags, and
send_object_info_request() turns those into the v2 protocol option
strings. remote_atom_map[] existed only to map those strings back into
atom names, so drop it and build remote_allowed_atoms from the result
arrays.

free_object_info_contents() loses its only caller and is dropped.
