The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path
to a file listing the names, i.e. SHA-1s, one per line, of objects that
are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`.
This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).
The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects
that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the
repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file
when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those
problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.

An fsck issue in a legacy repository might be so common that one would
like not to bother the user with mentioning it at all. With this change,
that is possible by setting the respective message type to "ignore".
This change "abuses" the missingEmail=warn test to verify that "ignore"
is also accepted and works correctly. And while at it, it makes sure
that multiple options work, too (they are passed to unpack-objects or
index-pack as a comma-separated list via the --strict=... command-line
option).

Some kinds of errors are intrinsically unrecoverable (e.g. errors while
uncompressing objects). It does not make sense to allow demoting them to
mere warnings.

The output from git push currently looks like this:
$ git push dest HEAD
fatal: [some message from index-pack]
error: unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit
To dest
! [remote rejected] HEAD -> master (n/a (unpacker error))
That n/a is meant to be "the per-ref status is not
available" but the nested parentheses just make it look
ugly. Let's turn the final line into just:
! [remote rejected] HEAD -> master (unpacker error)

Receive runs rev-list --verify-objects in order to detect missing
objects. However, such errors are ignored and overridden later.
Instead, consequently ignore all update commands for which an error has
already been detected.
Some tests in t5504 are obsoleted by this change, because invalid
objects are detected even if fsck is not enabled. Instead, they now test
for different error messages depending on whether or not fsck is turned
on. A better fix would be to force a corruption that will be detected by
fsck but not by rev-list.

* jc/fetch-verify:
fetch: verify we have everything we need before updating our ref
rev-list --verify-object
list-objects: pass callback data to show_objects()
Add tests for the new fetch.fsckobjects, and also tests for
receive.fsckobjects we have had for quite some time.
