Rewrite bulk-checkin.c:finish_bulk_checkin() to use a strbuf for handling packname, and explain why this is useful.
Also check if the first argument of pack-write.c:finish_tmp_packfile() can be made const.

Adding 64 to strlen(get_object_directory()) to accomodate sha1_to_hex(sha1) and itself.
Using the APIs for strbuf is giving me test failures(12/15) during t1050-large.sh 
So, I used the malloc() and free() instead.
