Enable the new binary header format for unpacked objects
This makes unpacked objects use the same header encoding as the packed
objects do, which should eventually allow us to be able to re-use the
object data directly when creating pack-files (rather than having to
decode and re-encode the data when inserting it in a pack).
It's enabled by default, but can be disabled with
[core]
BinaryHeaders = false
in the config file.
We can read both formats, of course, so you can have a mixed archive.

This should _not_ be applied to the main git sources, at least not
with the default being "use_binary_headers = 1".
But if you change that initial assignment to 0, this should be reasonably
good.
Not extensively tested, of course. It fails t9102-git-svn-deep-rmdir.sh
for me for some reason, I didn't really look at it yet, since this whole
thing is more for Carl Baldwin to play with right now.
