When computing abbreviation lengths for an object ID against a single
packfile, the method find_abbrev_len_for_pack() currently implements
binary search. This is one of several implementations. One issue with
this implementation is that it ignores the fanout table in the pack-
index.

Translate this binary search to use the existing bsearch_pack() method
that correctly uses a fanout table.

Due to the use of the fanout table, the abbreviation computation is
slightly faster than before. For a fully-repacked copy of the Linux
repo, the following 'git log' commands improved:

* git log --oneline --parents --raw
  Before: 59.2s
  After:  56.9s
  Rel %:  -3.8%

* git log --oneline --parents
  Before: 6.48s
  After:  5.91s
  Rel %: -8.9%
