The old mode conversion was not only complex, it also refused to change
the length of a mode, which made it fragile. By moving the mode
conversion around a bit, we can not only simplify it, it also ends up
being more powerful.
Also fix a memory leak that made it impossible to convert huge archives
without tons and tons of memory.

git-fsck-cache complains about some of the odder ones, and is quiet
about the old (S_IFREG | 664) case, but that's wrong too.
Converting the kernel tree is too painful right now, but at least we
know how to do it if we ever want to.
Fixes all in-code names that leaved during "big name change".

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
Introduce xmalloc and xrealloc to die gracefully with a descriptive
message when out of memory, rather than taking a SIGSEGV.

The git archives have some old-date-format commits with timezones
that the converter didn't recognize. Also, make it be quiet about
already-converted dates.
This includes the old-style "flat tree" object, and the old broken
date format. Well, enough of the date format to convert the sparse
archive, at least.
