www: fix ref cycle from threading w/ extindex
Unlike v1 inboxes (which don't accept duplicate Message-IDs at
all), and v2 inboxes (which generate a new Message-ID for
duplicates), extindex must accept duplicate Message-IDs as-is.
This was fine for storage, but prevented the reference-cycle
mechanism of our message threading display algorithm from working
reliably. It could no longer delete the ->{parent} field from
clobbered entries in the %id_table.
So we now take into account reused Message-IDs and never clobber
entries in %id_table. Instead, we mark reused Message-IDs as
"imposters" and special-case them by injecting them as children
after all other threading is complete.
This cycle was noticed using a pre-release of Devel::Mwrap::PSGI:

git: shorten --git-dir= in CLI with chdir in spawn
Long pathnames are difficult to read and distinguish in ps(1)
output. Deep paths can also slow down pathname resolution
when dealing with loose objects, so we put "cat-file --batch"
deeper into the directory tree.
Since v2 processes are in the form of $INBOXDIR/all.git, keep
the basename of $INBOXDIR in --git-dir= so it's easy to
distinguish between processes just by looking at ps(1).
While "git -C" also exists, it's only present in git 1.8.5+.
We also need to keep in mind the "directory" pointed to by
--git-dir= need not be a directory (nor a symlink pointing
to one).
This reduces pathname resolution overhead for v1 and v2 inbox
git processes, but unfortunately not for extindex since that
needs to store alternates as absolute paths.
