[PATCH 18/27] [GSOC] ref-filter: use atom_type and merge two for loop in grab_person

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@xxxxxxxxx>

grab_person() uses string for atom type comparison, this is very
inefficient, we can use atom_type to replace it. At the same time,
we can merge the two for loops in grab_person() into one, this can
reduce unnecessary traversal of the used_atom list.

With this patch, `git cat-file --batch` has a 2% performance
improvement.
