Rework object refs tracking to reduce memory usage

Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead
of linked list.  This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use
object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git
repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of
7 MB before the change.  Object refs are still the biggest consumer of
memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a
linked list is substantially smaller.
