Currently pull() calls fetch() without checking whether we have
the wanted object but all of the existing fetch()
implementations perform this check and return success
themselves. This patch moves the check to the caller.
I will be sending a trivial git-local-pull which depends on
this in the next message.

The method for deciding what to pull is useful separately from any of the
ways of actually fetching the objects.
So split out "pull" functionality from http-pull and rpull

Introduce xmalloc and xrealloc to die gracefully with a descriptive
message when out of memory, rather than taking a SIGSEGV.

This patch adds three similar and related programs. http-pull downloads
objects from an HTTP server; rpull downloads objects by using ssh and
rpush on the other side; and rpush uploads objects by using ssh and rpull
on the other side.
The algorithm should be sufficient to make the network throughput required
depend only on how much content is new, not at all on how much content the
repository contains.
The combination should enable people to have remote repositories by way of
ssh login for authenticated users and HTTP for anonymous access.
