(Based on the tip of 'eb/limit-bulk-checkin-to-blobs'.) This series implements support for a new merge-tree option, `--write-pack`, which causes any newly-written objects to be packed together instead of being stored individually as loose. The motivating use-case behind these changes is to better support repositories who invoke merge-tree frequently, generating a potentially large number of loose objects, resulting in a possible adverse effect on performance. The majority of the changes here are preparatory to refactor common routines out of the bulk-checkin machinery to prepare for indexing different types of objects whose contents can be held in-core. Also worth noting is the relative ease this series can be adapted to support the $NEW_HASH interop work in 'eb/hash-transition-rfc'. For more details on the relatively small number of changes necessary to make that work, see the log message of the second-to-last patch. Thanks in advance for your review!
