sha1_object_info_extended(): expose a bit more info

The original interface for sha1_object_info() takes an object name and
gives back a type and its size (the latter is given only when it was
asked).  The new interface wraps its implementation and exposes a bit
more pieces of information that the interface used to discard, namely:

 - where the object is stored (loose? cached? packed?)
 - if packed, where in which packfile?

 * In the earlier round, this used u.pack.delta to record the length of
   the delta chain, but the caller is not necessarily interested in the
   length of the delta chain per-se, but may only want to know if it is a
   delta against another object or is stored as a deflated data. Calling
   packed_object_info_detail() involves walking the reverse index chain to
   compute the store size of the object and is unnecessarily expensive.

   We could resurrect the code if a new caller wants to know, but I doubt
   it.
