bundle: verify using check_connected()

When Git verifies a bundle to see if it is safe for unbundling, it first
looks to see if the prerequisite commits are in the object store. This
is an easy way to "fail fast" but it is not a sufficient check for
updating refs that guarantee closure under reachability. There could
still be issues if those commits are not reachable from the repository's
references. The repository only has guarantees that its object store is
closed under reachability for the objects that are reachable from
references.

Thus, the code in verify_bundle() has previously had the additional
check that all prerequisite commits are reachable from repository
references. This is done via a revision walk from all references,
stopping only if all prerequisite commits are discovered or all commits
are walked. This uses a custom walk to verify_bundle().

This check is more strict than what Git applies to fetched pack-files.
In the fetch case, Git guarantees that the new references are closed
under reachability by walking from the new references until walking
commits that are reachable from repository refs. This is done through
the well-used check_connected() method.

To better align with the restrictions required by 'git fetch',
reimplement this check in verify_bundle() to use check_connected(). This
also simplifies the code significantly.

The previous change added a test that verified the behavior of 'git
bundle verify' and 'git bundle unbundle' in this case, and the error
messages looked like this:

  error: Could not read <missing-commit>
  fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit <extant-commit>

However, by changing the revision walk slightly within check_connected()
and using its quiet mode, we can omit those messages. Instead, we get
only this message, tailored to describing the current state of the
repository:

  error: some prerequisite commits exist in the object store,
         but are not connected to the repository's history

(Line break added here for the commit message formatting, only.)

While this message does not include any object IDs, there is no
guarantee that those object IDs would help the user diagnose what is
going on, as they could be separated from the prerequisite commits by
some distance. At minimum, this situation describes the situation in a
more informative way than the previous error messages.
