push: Prepare pack before sending pack header. For large pushes, preparing the pack can take a while. Currently we send the pack header first, followed by preparing the pack and then finally sending the pack. Unfortunately github.com will terminate a git-receive-pack command over http if it is idle for more than 10 seconds. This is easily exceeded for a large push, and so the push is rejected with a Broken Pipe error. This patch moves the pack preparation ahead of sending the pack header, so that the timeout is avoided. prepare_pack() can be called multiple times but will only do the work once, so the original PREPARE_PACK call inside git_packbuilder_foreach() remains.
