Merge branch 'jh/object-filtering'

In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the object
walking machinery has been taught a way to tell it to "filter" some
objects from enumeration.

* jh/object-filtering:
  rev-list: support --no-filter argument
  list-objects-filter-options: support --no-filter
  list-objects-filter-options: fix 'keword' typo in comment
  pack-objects: add list-objects filtering
  rev-list: add list-objects filtering support
  list-objects: filter objects in traverse_commit_list
  oidset: add iterator methods to oidset
  oidmap: add oidmap iterator methods
  dir: allow exclusions from blob in addition to file

+	Only useful with one of the `--objects*`; omits objects (usually
+	blobs) from the list of printed objects.  The '<filter-spec>'
+	may be one of the following:
++
+The form '--filter=blob:none' omits all blobs.
++
+The form '--filter=blob:limit=<n>[kmg]' omits blobs larger than n bytes
+or units.  n may be zero.  The suffixes k, m, and g can be used to name
+units in KiB, MiB, or GiB.  For example, 'blob:limit=1k' is the same
+as 'blob:limit=1024'.
++
+The form '--filter=sparse:oid=<blob-ish>' uses a sparse-checkout

+to omit blobs that would not be not required for a sparse checkout on
