If there are too many files in .git/refs/heads/, git packs them in
.git/packed-refs. This breaks the build as gen/angle/angle_commit.h
depends on .git/refs/heads/<branch-name>.
With this change, when gn is run and the dependency to this file is set
up, it's unpacked from .git/packed-refs if it's missing from
.git/refs/heads/.
One corner case not solved by this change is if a commit is amended with
no changes and git packs the refs (and so the
.git/refs/heads/<branch-name> file goes away), ninja doesn't rerun gn as
it doesn't believe there to be any changes, yet fails the build as the
dependency is now missing. Running `gn gen` manually fixes the issue.
The issue is automatically fixed when switching branches.
