 - sha1-file: split OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH

 Code cleanup.

 Will merge to 'next'.

I think this one is actually a bug-fix (we are refusing to prefetch for
"QUICK" calls even though was not the intent), and it is new in this
release.

I'm not sure of the user-visible impacts, though. There are a lot of
QUICK calls, and I'm not sure for which ones it is important to fetch.

Hmph.  I took it as primarily futureproofing, as I didn't find a way
to trigger bad behaviour from within the current codebase.

Hmm. Looking over the uses of OBJECT_INFO_QUICK, they all seem to be in
either index-pack or as part of a fetch operation. And in both of those
cases, we'd disable the whole feature anyway with fetch_if_missing.

So I _think_ you are right, and there isn't a way to trigger it.
