Jeff King 5fe849d651 count-objects: report alternates via verbose mode
There's no way to get the list of alternates that git
computes internally; our tests only infer it based on which
objects are available. In addition to testing, knowing this
list may be helpful for somebody debugging their alternates
setup.

Let's add it to the "count-objects -v" output. We could give
it a separate flag, but there's not really any need.
"count-objects -v" is already a debugging catch-all for the
object database, its output is easily extensible to new data
items, and printing the alternates is not expensive (we
already had to find them to count the objects).

====================
NAME
----
git-count-objects - Count unpacked number of objects and their disk consumption
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git count-objects' [-v] [-H | --human-readable]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This counts the number of unpacked object files and disk space consumed by
them, to help you decide when it is a good time to repack.
OPTIONS
-------
-v::
--verbose::
Report in more detail:
+
count: the number of loose objects
+
size: disk space consumed by loose objects, in KiB (unless -H is specified)
+
in-pack: the number of in-pack objects
+
size-pack: disk space consumed by the packs, in KiB (unless -H is specified)
+
prune-packable: the number of loose objects that are also present in
the packs. These objects could be pruned using `git prune-packed`.
+
garbage: the number of files in object database that are neither valid loose
objects nor valid packs
+
size-garbage: disk space consumed by garbage files, in KiB (unless -H is
specified)
+
alternate: absolute path of alternate object databases; may appear
multiple times, one line per path. Note that if the path contains
non-printable characters, it may be surrounded by double-quotes and
contain C-style backslashed escape sequences.
-H::
--human-readable::
Print sizes in human readable format
