If a filter is specified, we do not need a full connectivity check on
the contents of the packfile we just fetched; we only need to check that
the objects referenced are promisor objects.
This significantly speeds up fetches into repositories that have many
promisor objects, because during the connectivity check, all promisor
objects are enumerated (to mark them UNINTERESTING), and that takes a
significant amount of time.

For example, a local fetch was sped up from 6.63s to 3.39s. The bulk of
the remaining time is spent in yet another connectivity check
(fetch_refs -> check_exist_and_connected) prior to the fetch - that will
hopefully be done in a subsequent patch.
