To figure out which objects expired objects we enumerate all loose and
packed objects individually so that we can figure out their respective
mtimes. Refactor the code to instead use `odb_for_each_object()` with a
request that ask for the object mtime instead.

Rename the `FOR_EACH_OBJECT_*` flags to have an `ODB_` prefix. This
prepares us for a new upcoming `odb_for_each_object()` function and
ensures that both the function and its flags have the same prefix.

<title>packfile: refactor kept-pack cache to work with packfile stores</title>

<id>urn:sha1:085de91b951a40b2b8ce35f8bfa182d4f5bcea6b</id>
<content type='text'>
The kept pack cache is a cache of packfiles that are marked as kept
either via an accompanying ".kept" file or via an in-memory flag. The
cache can be retrieved via `kept_pack_cache()`, where one needs to pass
in a repository.

Ultimately though the kept-pack cache is a property of the packfile
store, and this causes problems in a subsequent commit where we want to
move down the packfile store to be a per-object-source entity.

Prepare for this and refactor the kept-pack cache to work on top of a
packfile store instead. While at it, rename both the function and flags
specific to the kept-pack cache so that they can be properly attributed
to the respective subsystems.

<title>refs: introduce wrapper struct for `each_ref_fn`</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bdbebe5714b25dc9d215b48efbb80f410925d7dd</id>
<content type='text'>
The `each_ref_fn` callback function type is used across our code base
for several different functions that iterate through reference. There's
a bunch of callbacks implementing this type, which makes any changes to
the callback signature extremely noisy. An example of the required churn
is e8207717f1 (refs: add referent to each_ref_fn, 2024-08-09): adding a
single argument required us to change 48 files.

It was already proposed back then [1] that we might want to introduce a
wrapper structure to alleviate the pain going forward. While this of
course requires the same kind of global refactoring as just introducing
a new parameter, it at least allows us to more change the callback type
afterwards by just extending the wrapper structure.

One counterargument to this refactoring is that it makes the structure
more opaque. While it is obvious which callsites need to be fixed up
when we change the function type, it's not obvious anymore once we use
a structure. That being said, we only have a handful of sites that
actually need to populate this wrapper structure: our ref backends,
"refs/iterator.c" as well as very few sites that invoke the iterator
callback functions directly.

Introduce this wrapper structure so that we can adapt the iterator
interfaces more readily.

<title>config: drop `git_config_get_string_multi()` wrapper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4f5ba823b879bbe0f06ceb6246755f39e793769f</id>
<content type='text'>
In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.

Follow through with that intent and remove
`git_config_get_string_multi()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they
use `repo_config_get_string_multi(the_repository, ...)` instead. While
some callsites might already have a repository available, this
mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and
thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be
cleaned up in a later patch series.

<content type='text'>
The iterators for loose objects still rely on `the_repository`. Refactor
them:

  - `for_each_loose_file_in_objdir()` is refactored so that the caller
    is now expected to pass an `odb_source` as parameter instead of the
    path to that source. Furthermore, it is renamed accordingly to
    `for_each_loose_file_in_source()`.

  - `for_each_loose_object()` is refactored to take in an object
    database now and calls the above function in a loop.

This allows us to get rid of the global dependency.

Adjust callers accordingly.

Rename `oid_object_info()` to `odb_read_object_info()` as well as their
`_extended()` variant to match other functions related to the object
database and our modern coding guidelines.

Introduce compatibility wrappers so that any in-flight topics will
continue to compile.

We carry declarations for a couple of functions in "object-store.h" that
are not defined in "object-store.c", but in a different subsystem. Move
these declarations to the respective headers whose matching code files
carry the corresponding definition.
