Identical to support in `git receive-pack for the config option
`receive.fsck.skiplist`, we now support ignoring given objects in
`git fsck` altogether.
This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).
