When a remote repository is deltified, we need to get the
objects that a deltified object we want to obtain is based upon.
The initial parts of each retrieved SHA1 file is inflated and
inspected to see if it is deltified, and its base object is
asked from the remote side when it is. Since this partial
inflation and inspection has a small performance hit, it can
optionally be skipped by giving -d flag to git-*-pull commands.
This flag should be used only when the remote repository is
known to have no deltified objects.
Rsync transport does not have this problem since it fetches
everything the remote side has.

This moves the private "say()" function to pull.c, renames it to
"pull_say()", and introduces a global variable "get_verbosely" that
makes the pull backends report what they fetch. The -v option is
added to git-rpull and git-http-pull to match git-local-pull.
The documentation is updated to describe these pull commands.

This patch updates pull.c, the engine that decides which objects are
needed, given a commit to traverse from, to report which commit was
calling for the object that cannot be retrieved from the remote side.
This complements git-fsck-cache in that it checks the consistency of
the remote repository for reachability.

Currently pull() calls fetch() without checking whether we have
the wanted object but all of the existing fetch()
implementations perform this check and return success
themselves. This patch moves the check to the caller.
I will be sending a trivial git-local-pull which depends on
this in the next message.

The method for deciding what to pull is useful separately from any of the
ways of actually fetching the objects.
So split out "pull" functionality from http-pull and rpull
