    Reorg internal odb read header and object lookup Often `git_odb_read_header` will "fail" and have to read the entire object into memory instead of just the header. When this happens, the object is loaded and then disposed of immediately, which makes it difficult to efficiently use the header information to decide if the object should be loaded (since attempting to do so will often result in loading the object twice). This commit takes the existing code and reorganizes it to have two new functions: - `git_odb__read_header_or_object` which acts just like the old read header function except that it returns the object, too, if it was forced to load the whole thing. It then becomes the callers responsibility to free the `git_odb_object`. - `git_object__from_odb_object` which was extracted from the old `git_object_lookup` and creates a subclass of `git_object` from an existing `git_odb_object` (separating the ODB lookup from the `git_object` creation). This allows you to use the first header reading function efficiently without instantiating the `git_odb_object` twice. There is no net change to the behavior of any of the existing functions, but this allows internal code to tap into the ODB lookup and object creation to be more efficient.
