Looking up a non-existent object currently always invokes
`git_odb_refresh`. If looking up a large batch of objects, many of which
may legitimately not exist, this will repeatedly refresh the ODB to no
avail.

Add a `git_odb_exists_ext` that accepts flags controlling the ODB
lookup, and add a flag to suppress the refresh. This allows the user to
control if and when they refresh (for instance, refreshing once before
starting the batch).

Commit b1a6c316a6070fac4ab1ec5792979838f7145c39 moved auto-refresh into
the pack backend, and added a comment accordingly. Commit
43820f204ea32503b4083e3b6b83f30a0a0031c9 moved auto-refresh back *out*
of backends into the ODB layer, but didn't update the comment.

<title>str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external</title>

<content type='text'>
libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by
`git_buf`.  We require:

1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs
   for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc).
2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they
   can take ownership of.

By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have
confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and
reasoning about correctness is also difficult.

Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents
its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class.  The name also
is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr").

The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint.  It
is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that
follow the documentation.  (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to
avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.)

Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a
`git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it
back again.

Since users are disposing the _contents_ of the oidarray, not freeing
the oidarray itself, the proper cleanup function is
`git_oidarray_dispose`.  Deprecate `git_oidarray_free`.

<title>repository: improve `hashfile` for absolute paths</title>

When `git_repository_hashfile` is handed an absolute path, it determines
whether the path is within the repository's working directory or not.
This is necessary when there is no `as_path` specified.

If the path is within the working directory, then the given path should
be used for attribute lookups (it is the effective `as_path`).  If it is
not within the working directory, then it is _not_ eligible.

Importantly, now we will _never_ pass an absolute path down to attribute
lookup functions.
