Subject: [PATCH] receive-pack.c: consolidate find header logic

There are two functions that have very similar logic of finding a header
value. find_commit_header, and find_header. We can conslidate the logic
by introducing a new function find_header_mem, which is equivalent to
find_commit_header except it takes a len parameter that determines how
many bytes will be read. find_commit_header and find_header can then both
call find_header_mem.

This reduces duplicate logic, as the logic for finding header values
can now all live in one place.
