for_each_*_object: give more comprehensive docstrings
We already mention the local/alternate behavior of these functions, but we can help clarify a few other behaviors: - there's no need to mention LOCAL_ONLY specifically, since we already reference the flags by type (and as we add more flags, we don't want to have to mention each) - clarify that reachability doesn't matter here; this is all accessible objects - what ordering/uniqueness guarantees we give - how pack-specific flags are handled for the loose case Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
