revision traversal: allow UNINTERESTING objects to be missing

Most of the existing codepaths were meant to treat missing uninteresting
objects to be a silently ignored non-error, but there were a few places
in handle_commit() and add_parents_to_list(), which are two key functions
in the revision traversal machinery, that cared:

 - When a tag refers to an object that we do not have, we barfed.  We
   ignore such a tag if it is painted as UNINTERESTING with this change.

 - When digging deeper into the ancestry chain of a commit that is already
   painted as UNINTERESTING, in order to paint its parents UNINTERESTING,
   we barfed if parse_parent() for a parent commit object failed.  We can
   ignore such a parent commit object.
