pack-objects: add GIT_TEST_FULL_NAME_HASH

Add a new environment variable to opt-in to the --full-name-hash option
in 'git pack-objects'. This allows for extra testing of the feature
without repeating all of the test scenarios.

But this option isn't free. There are a few tests that change behavior
with the variable enabled.

First, there are a few tests that are very sensitive to certain delta
bases being picked. These are both involving the generation of thin
bundles and then counting their objects via 'git index-pack --fix-thin'
which pulls the delta base into the new packfile. For these tests,
disable the option as a decent long-term option.

Second, there are two tests in t5616-partial-clone.sh that I believe are
actually broken scenarios. While the client is set up to clone the
'promisor-server' repo via a treeless partial clone filter (tree:0),
that filter does not translate to the 'server' repo. Thus, fetching from
these repos causes the server to think that the client has all reachable
trees and blobs from the commits advertised as 'haves'. This leads the
server to providing a thin pack assuming those objects as delta bases.
Changing the name-hash algorithm presents new delta bases and thus
breaks the expectations of these tests. An alternative could be to set
up 'server' as a promisor server with the correct filter enabled. This
may also point out more issues with partial clone being set up as a
remote-based filtering mechanism and not a repository-wide setting. For
now, do the minimal change to make the test work by disabling the test
variable.
