cat-file resource pool

Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run with
a large -J value.

This implementation takes care to avoid adding any overhead to git-annex
when run without -J. When run with -J, there is a small bit of added
overhead, to manipulate the resource pool. That optimisation added a
fair bit of complexity.

Implemented the cat-file pool. Capped at 2 cat-files of each distinct type,
so it will start a max of 8 no matter the -J level.
(Although cat-file can also be run in those repositories so there will be
more then.)
While testing, I noticed git-anenx drop -Jn starts n git check-attr
processes, so the same thing ought to be done with them. Leaving this bug open
for that, but I do think that the problem you reported should be fixed now.
