upload-pack: Run rev-list in an asynchronous function.

This gets rid of an explicit fork().

Since upload-pack has to coordinate two processes (rev-list and
pack-objects), we cannot use the normal finish_async(), but have to monitor
the process explicitly. Hence, there are no changes at this front.
