    Precompute the fanout decoding and the oid offset in a pack-*.idx
    
    The fanout table is fairly commonly accessed, we need to read it
    twice for each object we lookup in any given pack file.  Most of
    the processors running Git are running in little-endian mode, as
    they are variants of the x86 platform, so reading the fanout is
    a costly operation as we need to convert from network byte order
    to local byte order.  By decoding the fanout table into a malloc
    obtained buffer we can save these 2 decode operations per lookup
    and make search go more quickly.
    
    This also cleans up the initialization of the search functions
    by cutting out a few instructions, saving a small amount of time.
