upload-pack.c: increase output buffer size

Browse Source 
When serving a fetch, git upload-pack copies data from a git
pack-objects stdout pipe to its stdout. This commit increases the size
of the buffer used for that copying from 8192 to 65515, the maximum
sideband-64k packet size.

Previously, this buffer was allocated on the stack. Because the new
buffer size is nearly 64KB, we switch this to a heap allocation.

On GitLab.com we use GitLab's pack-objects cache which does writes of
65515 bytes. Because of the default 8KB buffer size, propagating these
cache writes requires 8 pipe reads and 8 pipe writes from
git-upload-pack, and 8 pipe reads from Gitaly (our Git RPC service).
If we increase the size of the buffer to the maximum Git packet size,
we need only 1 pipe read and 1 pipe write in git-upload-pack, and 1
pipe read in Gitaly to transfer the same amount of data. In benchmarks
with a pure fetch and 100% cache hit rate workload we are seeing CPU
utilization reductions of over 30%.
