Convert git-receive-pack(1) to use the new connectivity check which
uses the quarantine directory to enumerate new objects instead of using
references. This change significantly decreases the time required to
accept reference updates due to the fact that we don't need to do a
graph walk anymore. The following measurements have been executed on
linux.git:

Interestingly enough, the normal "clone" repository shows a more extreme
improvement compared to the "extrarefs" repository, which has one
reference per commit. While I haven't yet dived into the root cause, I
expect that there is another location besides the connectivity check
which does scale with the number of references.

Notably, the connectivity check when pushing into an empty repository
shows comparable performance with the previous implementation. This is
because in both cases we're actually performing a complete graph walk to
determine whether there are any unreachable commits.
