pack-objects: ignore ambiguous object warnings

A git push process runs several processes during its run, but one includes git send-pack which calls git pack-objects and passes the known have/wants into stdin using object ids. However, the default setting for core.warnAmbiguousRefs requires git pack-objects to check for ref names matching the ref_rev_parse_rules array in refs.c. This means that every object is triggering at least six "file exists?" queries. When there are a lot of refs, this can add up significantly! I observed a simple push spending three seconds checking these paths. The fix here is similar to 4c30d50 "rev-list: disable object/refname ambiguity check with --stdin". While the get_object_list() method reads the objects from stdin, turn warn_on_object_refname_ambiguity flag (which is usually true) to false. Just for code hygiene, save away the original at the beginning and restore it once we are done.
