When parsing commits, fail fast when the commit is missing or corrupt, instead of attempting to fetch them. This is done by inlining repo_read_object_file() and setting the flag that prevents fetching. This is motivated by a situation in which through a bug (not necessarily through Git), there was corruption in the object store of a partial clone. In this particular case, the problem was exposed when "git gc" tried to expire reflogs, which calls repo_parse_commit(), which triggers fetches of the missing commits. (There are other possible solutions to this problem including passing an argument from "git gc" to "git reflog" to inhibit all lazy fetches, but I think that this fix is at the wrong level - fixing "git reflog" means that this particular command works fine, or so we think (it will fail if it somehow needs to read a legitimately missing blob, say, a .gitmodules file), but fixing repo_parse_commit() will fix a whole class of bugs.)
