[PATCH 04/30] backfill: add --batch-size=<n> option

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

Users may want to specify a minimum batch size for their needs. This is only
a minimum: the path-walk API provides a list of OIDs that correspond to the
same path, and thus it is optimal to allow delta compression across those
objects in a single server request.

We could consider limiting the request to have a maximum batch size in the
future.

 By default, `git backfill` downloads all blobs reachable from the `HEAD`
