Allow a project to be forked to a different shard than it's source

Since we've introduced object deduplication, we've made it so that every project that is forked gets stored on the same shard as the source project.
Since !21339 (merged) we allow a project to have multiple pool repositories across different shards.
After we keep maintaining those pools (#39086). We could also make sure that we separate the forks across multiple shards to avoid hotspots on the single shard that contains every fork of a popular project.
