Merge branch 'jk/fully-peeled-packed-ref'

Not that we do not actively encourage having annotated tags outside
refs/tags/ hierarchy, but they were not advertised correctly to the
ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.

* jk/fully-peeled-packed-ref:
  pack-refs: add fully-peeled trait
  pack-refs: write peeled entry for non-tags
  use parse_object_or_die instead of die("bad object")
  avoid segfaults on parse_object failure

+ * Read f, which is a packed-refs file, into dir.

+ * A comment line of the form "# pack-refs with: " may contain zero or

+ *
+ *   No traits:
+ *
+ *      Probably no references are peeled. But if the file contains a
+ *      peeled value for a reference, we will use it.
+ *
+ *   peeled:
+ *
+ *      References under "refs/tags/", if they *can* be peeled, *are*
+ *      peeled in this file. References outside of "refs/tags/" are
+ *      probably not peeled even if they could have been, but if we find
+ *      a peeled value for such a reference we will use it.
+ *
+ *   fully-peeled:
+ *
+ *      All references in the file that can be peeled are peeled.
+ *      Inversely (and this is more important), any references in the
+ *      file for which no peeled value is recorded is not peelable. This
+ *      trait should typically be written alongside "peeled" for
+ *      compatibility with older clients, but we do not require it
+ *      (i.e., "peeled" is a no-op if "fully-peeled" is set).
