pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use

Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.

However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.

The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or
.keep'ed pack).

We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to
add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons:

    1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and
    2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs.

"2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover
"1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be
non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry.

In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found
pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away
in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In
particular, as p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh shows (3 consecutive runs), we do
not do harm to served-with-bitmap clones performance-wise:

with delta timings showing they are all within noise from run to run.

In the general case we do not want to call find_pack_entry_one() more than
once, because it is expensive. This patch splits the loop in
want_object_in_pack() into two parts: finding the object and seeing if it
impacts our choice to include it in the pack. We may call the inexpensive
want_found_object() twice, but we will never call find_pack_entry_one() if we
do not need to.

I appreciate help and discussing this change with Junio C Hamano and
Jeff King.
