[PATCH] Parallelize pulling by ssh

This causes ssh-pull to request objects in prefetch() and read then in
fetch(), such that it reduces the unpipelined round-trip time.

This also makes sha1_write_from_fd() support having a buffer of data
which it accidentally read from the fd after the object; this was
formerly not a problem, because it would always get a short read at
the end of an object, because the next object had not been
requested. This is no longer true.
