fsck: optionally show more helpful info for broken links
When reporting broken links between commits/trees/blobs, it would be quite helpful at times if the user would be told how the object is supposed to be reachable. With the new --name-objects option, git-fsck will try to do exactly that: name the objects in a way that shows how they are reachable. For example, when some reflog got corrupted and a blob is missing that should not be, the user might want to remove the corresponding reflog entry. This option helps them find that entry: `git fsck` will now report something like this: broken link from tree b5eb6ff... (refs/stash@{<date>}~37:) to blob ec5cf80...
