Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] make object_directory.loose_objects_subdir_seen a bitmap

From: Eric Wong <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 20:53:03 +0000

There's no point in using 8 bits per-directory when 1 bit
will do.  This saves us 224 bytes per object directory, which
ends up being 22MB when dealing with 100K alternates.

v2: use bitsizeof() macro and better variable names
