object-store: use one oid_array per subdirectory for loose cache

The loose objects cache is filled one subdirectory at a time as needed.
It is stored in an oid_array, which has to be resorted after each add
operation.  So when querying a wide range of objects, the partially
filled array needs to be resorted up to 255 times, which takes over 100
times longer than sorting once.

Use one oid_array for each subdirectory.  This ensures that entries have
to only be sorted a single time.  It also avoids eight binary search
steps for each cache lookup as a small bonus.

The cache is used for collision checks for the log placeholders %h, %t
and %p, and we can see the change speeding them up in a repository with
ca. 100 objects per subdirectory:

$ git count-objects
26733 objects, 68808 kilobytes
