Fix possible coredump with fast-import --import-marks
When e8438420bb7d368bec3647b90c557b9931582267 allowed us to reload
the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke
things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported
into the marks table. Creating a branch from that mark should fail
as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git
pointer. Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to
locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference
to the packed_git it resides in.
This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough.
When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test
its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended.
I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix.
Prior versions of fast-import fail the new test(s); this commit
allows them to pass.
Credit for this bug find goes to Simon Hausmann <simon@lst.de> as
he recently identified a similiar bug in the tree lazy-loading path.
