packfile: skip hash checks in add_promisor_object()
When is_promisor_object() is called for the first time, it lazily
initializes a set of all promisor objects by iterating through all
objects in promisor packs. For each object, add_promisor_object() calls
parse_object(), which decompresses and hashes the entire object.
For repositories with large pack files, this can take an extremely long
time. For example, on a production repository with a 176 GB promisor
pack:
$ time ~/git/git/git-rev-list --objects --all --exclude-promisor-objects --quiet

add_promisor_object() just wants to construct the set of all promisor
objects, so it doesn't really need to verify the hash of every object.
Set PARSE_OBJECT_SKIP_HASH_CHECK to skip the hash check. This has the
side effect of skipping decompression of blob objects completely, saving
a significant amount of time:
$ time ~/git/git/git-rev-list --objects --all --exclude-promisor-objects --quiet
