symbols: Split calls to git archive

Warren Gifford requested to merge batch-git-archive into main

Created by: chrismwendt

Prior to this change, the symbols service would fall back to a full git archive when the paths were too long.

After this change, it will split a big list of paths into batches and call git archive on each batch. This is more efficient than falling back to a full git archive.

On sourcegraph/sourcegraph:

  • git archive without paths (meaning a full archive) takes 549ms
  • git archive with all of the paths takes 652ms
  • git archive with half of the paths takes 363ms
