fsck: use oidset instead of oid_array for skipList

Change the implementation of the skipList feature to use oidset
instead of oid_array to store SHA-1s for later lookup.

This list is parsed once on startup by fsck, fetch-pack or
receive-pack depending on the *.skipList config in use. I.e. only once
per invocation, but note that for "clone --recurse-submodules" each
submodule will re-parse the list, in addition to the main project, and
it will be re-parsed when checking .gitmodules blobs, see
fb16287 ("fsck: check skiplist for object in fsck_blob()",
2018-06-27).

Memory usage is a bit higher, but we don't need to keep track of the
sort order anymore. Embed the oidset into struct fsck_options to make
its ownership clear (no hidden sharing) and avoid unnecessary pointer
indirection.

The cumulative impact on performance of this & the preceding change,
using the test setup described in the previous commit:
