Jonathan Tan b4e00f7306 packfile: refactor hash search with fanout table
Subsequent patches will introduce file formats that make use of a fanout
array and a sorted table containing hashes, just like packfiles.
Refactor the hash search in packfile.c into its own function, so that
those patches can make use of it as well.

*
* - sha1: the hash to search for
* - fanout_nbo: a 256-element array of NETWORK-order 32-bit integers; the
* integer at position i represents the number of elements in table whose
* first byte is less than or equal to i
* - table: a sorted list of hashes with optional extra information in between
* - stride: distance between two consecutive elements in table (should be
* GIT_MAX_RAWSZ or greater)
* - result: if not NULL, this function stores the element index of the
* position found (if the search is successful) or the index of the least
* element that is greater than sha1 (if the search is not successful)
*
* This function does not verify the validity of the fanout table.
