Patrick Steinhardt a26ff4e576 tmp-objdir: replace primary source at creation time
When creating transactions via the "tmp-objdir" subsystem callers are
expected to first call `tmp_objdir_create()` to create the quarantine
directory and then `tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb()` to activate that
quarantine directory as the primary object database source so that all
newly written objects are written into it.

This dance is performed by all users of temporary object directories, so
that makes the setup unnecessarily involved. Merge the logic to replace
the primary object database source into `tmp_objdir_create()` to
simplify the dance.

Note that with the quarantine directory being installed by
`tmp_objdir_create()`, users of this function no longer get a pointer to
the underlying quarantine directory. So instead of repreparing only that
directory, we now reprepare the whole source instead, and as we know
that the source has wired up the quarantine directory already, this will
cause us to reprepare the quarantine directory, too.

/*
* This API allows you to create a temporary object directory, advertise it to
* sub-processes via GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY and GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES,
* and then either migrate its object into the main object directory, or remove
* it. The library handles unexpected signal/exit death by cleaning up the
* temporary directory.
*
* Example:
*
* struct child_process child = CHILD_PROCESS_INIT;
* struct tmp_objdir *t = tmp_objdir_create(repo, "incoming", 0);
* strvec_push(&child.args, cmd);
* strvec_pushv(&child.env, tmp_objdir_env(t));
* if (!run_command(&child)) && !tmp_objdir_migrate(t))
* printf("success!\n");
* else
* die("failed...tmp_objdir will clean up for us");
