3rd iteration of the reftable storage format.

You can read a rendered version of this here:
https://googlers.googlesource.com/sop/jgit/+/reftable/Documentation/technical/reftable.md

Significant changes from v2:
- efficient lookup by SHA-1 for allow-tip-sha1-in-want.
- type 0x4 for FETCH_HEAD, MERGE_HEAD.
- file size up (27.7 M in v1, 34.4 M in v3)

I had some feedback on v2 here which still applies:

It would be good to either get a reply to that, or if you don't think
it's sensible for whatever reason and left it out of v3 have a
"feedback received but discarded for <reason>" in these summaries as
you're sending new versions.

Aside from the mail I sent I think that would be very useful in
general if there's been any other such feedback (I honestly don't know
if there has, I haven't been following this actively).
