fetch-pack.c: use oidset to check existence of loose object

When fetching from a repository with large number of refs, because to
check existence of each refs in local repository to packed and loose
objects, 'git fetch' ends up doing a lot of lstat(2) to non-existing
loose form, which makes it slow.

Instead of making as many lstat(2) calls as the refs the remote side
advertised to see if these objects exist in the loose form, first
enumerate all the existing loose objects in hashmap beforehand and use
it to check existence of them if the number of refs is larger than the
number of loose objects.

With this patch, the number of lstat(2) calls in `git fetch` is reduced
from 411412 to 13794 for chromium repository, it has more than 480000
remote refs.

I took time stat of `git fetch` when fetch-pack happens for chromium
repository 3 times on linux with SSD.

`git fetch` on slow disk will be improved largely.
