Add option for disabling thin pushes

There is a long standing issue with C Git pushing to Gerrit and Jgit
where the occasional push will fail because the negotiated packs are
missing a tree object. This happens very occasionally but when it does
it would be nice to be able to point users at an easy workaround.
Pushing with --no-thin is that workaround.

Note that --no-thin is much less efficient so shouldn't be used by
default.

This old bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/git-review/+bug/1332549, has
details but it seems to affect current C git and Gerrit+Jgit.
