prepare_revision_walk() allows callers to take ownership of the array of
pending objects by setting the rev_info flag "leak_pending" and copying
the object_array "pending". They use it to clear commit marks after
setup is done. This interface is brittle enough that it requires
extensive comments.
Provide an easier way by adding a function that can hand over the array
to a caller-supplied output parameter and converting all users of the
flag "leak_pending" to call prepare_revision_walk_extended() instead.
