Jeff King 33d4221c79 write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects
When we try to write a loose object file, we first check
whether that object already exists. If so, we skip the
write as an optimization. However, this can interfere with
prune's strategy of using mtimes to mark files in progress.

For example, if a branch contains a particular tree object
and is deleted, that tree object may become unreachable, and
have an old mtime. If a new operation then tries to write
the same tree, this ends up as a noop; we notice we
already have the object and do nothing. A prune running
simultaneously with this operation will see the object as
old, and may delete it.

We can solve this by "freshening" objects that we avoid
writing by updating their mtime. The algorithm for doing so
is essentially the same as that of has_sha1_file. Therefore
we provide a new (static) interface "check_and_freshen",
which finds and optionally freshens the object. It's trivial
to implement freshening and simple checking by tweaking a
single parameter.

# This test covers the handling of objects which might have old
# mtimes in the filesystem (because they were used previously)
# and are just now becoming referenced again.
#
# We're going to do two things that are a little bit "fake" to
# help make our simulation easier:
#
# 1. We'll turn off reflogs. You can still run into
# problems with reflogs on, but your objects
# don't get pruned until both the reflog expiration
# has passed on their references, _and_ they are out
# of prune's expiration period. Dropping reflogs
# means we only have to deal with one variable in our tests,
# but the results generalize.
#
# 2. We'll use a temporary index file to create our
# works-in-progress. Most workflows would mention
# referenced objects in the index, which prune takes
# into account. However, many operations don't. For
# example, a partial commit with "git commit foo"
# will use a temporary index. Or they may not need
# an index at all (e.g., creating a new commit
# to refer to an existing tree).
