sha1_name: cache readdir(3) results in find_short_object_filename()

Read each loose object subdirectory at most once when looking for unique
abbreviated hashes.  This speeds up commands like "git log --pretty=%h"
considerably, which previously caused one readdir(3) call for each
candidate, even for subdirectories that were visited before.

The new cache is kept until the program ends and never invalidated.  The
same is already true for pack indexes.  The inherent racy nature of
finding unique short hashes makes it still fit for this purpose -- a
conflicting new object may be added at any time.  Tasks with higher
consistency requirements should not use it, though.

The cached object names are stored in an oid_array, which is quite
compact.  The bitmap for remembering which subdir was already read is
stored as a char array, with one char per directory -- that's not quite
as compact, but really simple and incurs only an overhead equivalent to
11 hashes after all.
