upload-pack: load non-tip "want" objects from disk
It is a long-time security feature that upload-pack will not serve any "want" lines that do not correspond to the tip of one of our refs. Traditionally, this was enforced by checking the objects in the in-memory hash; they should have been loaded and received the OUR_REF flag during the advertisement. The stateless-rpc mode, however, has a race condition here: one process advertises, and another receives the want lines, so the refs may have changed in the interim. To address this, commit 051e400 added a new verification mode; if the object is not OUR_REF, we set a "has_non_tip" flag, and then later verify that the requested objects are reachable from our current tips. However, we still die immediately when the object is not in our in-memory hash, and at this point we should only have loaded our tip objects. So the check_non_tip code path does not ever actually trigger, as any non-tip objects would have already caused us to die. We can fix that by using parse_object instead of lookup_object, which will load the object from disk if it has not already been loaded. We still need to check that parse_object does not return NULL, though, as it is possible we do not have the object at all. A more appropriate error message would be "no such object" rather than "not our ref"; however, we do not want to leak information about what objects are or are not in the object database, so we continue to use the same "not our ref" message that would be produced by an unreachable object.
