When loosening a pack, the current pack_id gets reused when
checkpointing and the import does not terminate. This causes
problems after checkpointing as the object table, branch, and
tag lists still contains pre-checkpoint references to the
recycled pack_id.
Merely clearing the object_table as suggested by Jeff King in
http://mid.gmane.org/20160517121330.GA7346@sigill.intra.peff.net
is insufficient as the marks set still contains references
to object entries.
Wrong pack_id references branch and tags lists do not cause
errors, but can lead to misleading crash reports and core dumps,
so they are also invalidated.

With many incremental imports, small packs become highly
inefficient due to the need to readdir scan and load many
indices to locate even a single object. Frequent repacking and
consolidation may be prohibitively expensive in terms of disk
I/O, especially in large repositories where the initial packs
were aggressively optimized and marked with .keep files.
In those cases, users may be better served with loose objects
and relying on "git gc --auto".
This changes the default behavior of fast-import for small
imports found in test cases, so adjustments to t9300 were
necessary.
