fast-import: clean up pack_data pointer in end_packfile

Browse Source 
We have a global pointer pack_data pointing to the current
pack we have open. Inside end_packfile we have two new
pointers, old_p and new_p. The latter points to pack_data,
and the former points to the new "installed" version of the
packfile we get when we hand the file off to the regular
sha1_file machinery. When then free old_p.

Presumably the extra old_p pointer was there so that we
could overwrite pack_data with new_p and still free old_p,
but we don't do that. We just leave pack_data pointing to
bogus memory, and don't overwrite it until we call
start_packfile again (if ever).

This can cause problems for our die routine, which calls
end_packfile to clean things up. If we die at the wrong
moment, we can end up looking at invalid memory in
pack_data left after the last end_packfile().

Instead, let's make sure we set pack_data to NULL after we
free it, and make calling endfile() again with a NULL
pack_data a noop (there is nothing to end).

We can further make things less confusing by dropping old_p
entirely, and moving new_p closer to its point of use.
