    odb: Direct writes are back
    
    DIRECT WRITES ARE BACK AND FASTER THAN EVER. The streaming writer to the
    ODB was an overkill for the smaller objects like Commit and Tags; most
    of the streaming logic was taking too long.
    
    This commit makes Commits, Tags and Trees to be built-up in memory, and
    then written to disk in 2 pushes (header + data), instead of streaming
    everything.
    
    This is *always* faster, even for big files (since the git_filebuf class
    still does streaming writes when the memory cache overflows). This is
    also a gazillion lines of code smaller, because we don't have to
    precompute the final size of the object before starting the stream (this
    was kind of defeating the point of streaming, anyway).
    
    Blobs are still written with full streaming instead of loading them in
    memory, since this is still the fastest way.
    
    A new `git_buf` class has been added. It's missing some features, but
    it'll get there.
