pack-object: tolerate broken packs that have duplicated objectsjc/maint-pack-object-cycle

When --reuse-delta is in effect (which is the default), and an existing
pack in the repository has the same object registered twice (e.g. one copy
in a non-delta format and the other copy in a delta against some other
object), an attempt to repack the repository can result in a cyclic delta
dependency, causing write_one() function to infinitely recurse into
itself.

Detect such a case and break the loopy dependency by writing out an object
that is involved in such a loop in the non-delta format.
