unpack-objects: low memory footprint for get_data() in dry_run mode

As the name implies, "get_data(size)" will allocate and return a given
amount of memory. Allocating memory for a large blob object may cause the
system to run out of memory. Before preparing to replace calling of
"get_data()" to unpack large blob objects in latter commits, refactor
"get_data()" to reduce memory footprint for dry_run mode.

Because in dry_run mode, "get_data()" is only used to check the
integrity of data, and the returned buffer is not used at all, we can
allocate a smaller buffer and use it as zstream output. Make the function
return NULL in the dry-run mode, as no callers use the returned buffer.

The "find [...]objects/?? -type f | wc -l" test idiom being used here
is adapted from the same "find" use added to another test in
d9545c7f465 (fast-import: implement unpack limit, 2016-04-25).
