fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules

Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or
"pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check
such lines printed.

This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile
and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check,
because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all
packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an
individual packfile, as it is before this commit).

Die if the pack contains broken objects. If the pack contains a tree

that blob (for the caller to check) after the hash that goes into the
name of the pack/idx file (see "Notes").
