Store the overview's summaries when a push lands

The repository overview walked git on every read: `rev-parse` for the
tip, `log` for the last five commits, `for-each-ref` for tags, `ls-tree`
plus `shortlog` for languages and contributors, and a `cat-file` for the
README. All of those describe a ref except the README, and a ref moves
only when a push lands, so the push now records them.

- Schema v10 adds `repo_languages`, `repo_commits`, `repo_contributors`
  and `repo_tags`.
- `RefreshHead` stores the tip's newest commits and its language
  breakdown from one `ls-tree -r -l`, and returns whether the tip moved.
- `RefreshContributors` stores the top authors; the hook calls it only
  when the tip changed, never on a metadata or tag push.
- `RefreshTags` stores the tag rows beside the release events it already
  rewrote, and `IndexRepo` now refreshes tags and contributors too, so a
  rebuild restores everything a push would have written.
- The overview reads those rows when the recorded head is the branch tip
  (`RefCommit` is a loose-ref file read) and falls back to git when it is
  not, so a missed hook shows the correct page rather than a stale one.
  If one stored section is empty on a repository with commits, that
  section alone is re-read from git.
- The sidebar asks SQL for five open issues and changes instead of
  sorting the whole open queue in memory.
- The rendered README is cached by repository, commit and ref under a
  byte budget, so the overview's last git spawn is gone after the first
  read of a commit.
- The language fallback reads one `ls-tree -r -l` instead of `ls-tree`
  followed by a `cat-file --batch-check`.
- `Remove` deletes every derived row for a repository, not only its row.

Load harness at concurrency 4: overview goes from 473 to about 740 req/s,
p50 from 8 ms to 5 ms, and the server runs no git child process for the
warm requests.
