Re: [WIP RFC 3/5] upload-pack: refactor reading of pack-objects out

Subsequent patches will change how the output of pack-objects is
processed, so extract that processing into its own function.

Currently, at most 1 character can be buffered (in the "buffered" local
variable). One of those patches will require a larger buffer, so replace
that "buffered" local variable with a buffer array.

This buffering sounds oddly similar to the pkt reader which can buffer
at most one pkt, the difference being that we'd buffer bytes
instead of pkts.
