Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new pack

In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization.  It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.

After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository.  This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.

Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.

This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.

 - odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
   code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;

 - odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
   create leading directories as needed.

This avoids the following misleading error message:

error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/15: File exists

mkstemp can fail for many reasons, one of which, ENOENT, can occur if
the directory for the temp file doesn't exist. create_tmpfile tried to
handle this case by always trying to mkdir the directory, even if it
already existed. This caused errno to be clobbered, so one cannot tell
why mkstemp really failed, and it truncated the buffer to just the
directory name, resulting in the strange error message shown above.

Note that in both occasions that I've seen this failure, it has not been
due to a missing directory, or bad permissions, but some other, unknown
mkstemp failure mode that did not occur when I ran git again. This code

date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds

The date/time parsing code was confused if the input time HH:MM:SS is
followed by fractional seconds.  Since we do not record anything finer
grained than seconds, we could just drop fractional part, but there is a
twist.

We have taught people that not just spaces but dot can be used as word
separators when spelling things like:

    $ git log --since 2.days
    $ git show @{12:34:56.7.days.ago}

and we shouldn't mistake "7" in the latter example as a fraction and
discard it.

The rules are:

 - valid days of month/mday are always single or double digits.

 - valid years are either two or four digits

   No, we don't support the year 600 _anyway_, since our encoding is based
   on the UNIX epoch, and the day we worry about the year 10,000 is far
   away and we can raise the limit to five digits when we get closer.

 - Other numbers (eg "600 days ago") can have any number of digits, but
   they cannot start with a zero. Again, the only exception is for
   two-digit numbers, since that is fairly common for dates ("Dec 01" is
   not unheard of)

So that means that any milli- or micro-second would be thrown out just
because the number of digits shows that it cannot be an interesting date.

A milli- or micro-second can obviously be a perfectly fine number
according to the rules above, as long as it doesn't start with a '0'. So
if we have

12:34:56.123

then that '123' gets parsed as a number, and we remember it. But because
it's bigger than 31, we'll never use it as such _unless_ there is
something after it to trigger that use.

So you can say "12:34:56.123.days.ago", and because of the "days", that
123 will actually be meaninful now.

The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,

repack: do not fall back to incremental repacking with [-a|-A]

When repack is called with either the -a or -A option, the user has
requested to repack all objects including those referenced by the
alternates mechanism. Currently, if there are no local packs without
.keep files, then repack will call pack-objects with the
'--unpacked --incremental' options which causes it to exclude alternate
packed objects. So, remove this fallback.
