Merge branch 'jk/loose-object-fsck'

"git fsck" inspects loose objects more carefully now.

* jk/loose-object-fsck:
  fsck: detect trailing garbage in all object types
  fsck: parse loose object paths directly
  sha1_file: add read_loose_object() function
  t1450: test fsck of packed objects
  sha1_file: fix error message for alternate objects
  t1450: refactor loose-object removal
