fetch: in partial clone, check presence of targets
When fetching an object that is known as a promisor object to the local repository, the connectivity check in quickfetch() in builtin/fetch.c succeeds, causing object transfer to be bypassed. However, this should not happen if that object is merely promised and not actually present. Because this happens, when a user invokes "git fetch origin <sha-1>" on the command-line, the <sha-1> object may not actually be fetched even though the command returns an exit code of 0. This is a similar issue (but with a different cause) to the one fixed by a0c9016abd ("upload-pack: send refs' objects despite "filter"", 2018-07-09). Therefore, update quickfetch() to also directly check for the presence of all objects to be fetched. Its documentation and name are also updated to better reflect what it does.
