Improve the safety check used in fetch.c

The recent safety check to trust only the commits we have made
things impossibly slow and turn out to waste a lot of memory.

This commit fixes it with the following improvements:

 - mark already scanned objects and avoid rescanning the same
   object again;

 - free the tree entries when we have scanned the tree entries;
   this is the same as b0d8923ec0
   which reduced memory usage by rev-list;

 - plug memory leak from the object_list dequeuing code;

 - use the process_queue not just for fetching but for scanning,
   to make things tail recursive to avoid deep recursion; the
   deep recursion was especially prominent when we cloned a big
   pack.

 - avoid has_sha1_file() call when we already know we do not have
   that object.
