pseudo-merge.c: ensure pseudo-merge groups are closed

When generating pseudo-merge bitmaps, it's possible that concurrent reference updates may reveal some pseudo-merge candidates which reach objects that are not contained in the bitmap's pack or pseudo-pack order (in the case of MIDX bitmaps). The latter case is relatively easy to demonstrate: if we generate a MIDX bitmap with only half of the repository packed, then the unpacked contents are not part of the MIDX's object order. If we happen to select one or more commit(s) from the unpacked portion of the repository for inclusion in a pseudo-merge, we'll get the following message when trying to generate its bitmap: $ git multi-pack-index write --bitmap [...] Selecting pseudo-merge commits: 100% (1/1), done. warning: Failed to write bitmap index. Packfile doesn't have full closure (object ... is missing) Building bitmaps: 50% (1/2), done. error: could not write multi-pack bitmap , and the attempted bitmap write will fail, leaving the repository without a current bitmap. Rectify this by ensuring that the commits which are pseudo-merge candidates can only be so if they appear somewhere in the packing order. This is sufficient, since we know that the original packing order is closed under reachability, so if a commit appears in that list as a potential pseudo-merge candidate, we know that everything reachable from it also appears in the list (and thus the candidate is a good one).
