Fix LocalGitClient assertion error with MemoryRepo (#1179)

Fix MemoryObjectStore.add_pack_data to properly handle delta objects
by routing through add_pack() which resolves deltas correctly.

Previously, when fetching externally cloned repositories into MemoryRepo,
the code would fail with AssertionError when trying to call sha_file()
on unresolved delta objects in unpacked_objects.

The fix changes add_pack_data to use the existing pack infrastructure
that properly handles delta resolution instead of trying to directly
add unresolved delta objects.

Adds comprehensive tests covering both the direct scenario and the
real-world use case of fetching from git-cloned repositories.

+ * Fix ``LocalGitClient`` assertion error when fetching externally cloned repositories
+   into ``MemoryRepo``. Previously, the client would fail with an AssertionError
+   when trying to process pack data from repositories that were cloned externally.
+   (Jelmer Vernooij, #1179)

  * Add support for ``format`` argument to ``Repo.init()`` and ``Repo.init_bare()``
    to specify repository format version (0 or 1). This allows creating repositories
    with different format versions by setting the ``core.repositoryformatversion``
