What does this MR do?

Counterpart of gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab!4977 (merged), main issue: gitlab-com/gl-infra/scalability#806 (closed)

These patches make git clone and git fetch faster for repositories with many references. They are currently in the 'next' branch of Git and we expect them to be released in Git 2.31.0.
