We found, when analysing an incident where Gerrit's gc runner thread got
stuck, that we can end up in an infinite loop in
ObjectDirectory#openPackedObject which tries to rescan the pack
list and starts over trying to open a packed object in an unconfined
loop if it catches a PackMismatchException.
Here the relevant part of a thread dump we created while the gc runner
was stuck:

The code in ObjectDirectory#openPackedObject [1] apparently assumes that
this is caused by a transient problem which it can resume from by
retrying. We use `core.trustFolderStat = false` on this server since it
uses NFS. The incident we had showed that we can enter into an infinite
loop here if there is a permanent mismatch between a pack file and its
corresponding pack index. I am not yet sure how this can happen.
Break the infinite loop by limiting the number of attempts rescanning
the pack list to 5 retries. When we exceed this threshold set the type
of the PackMismatchException to permanent and rethrow it which breaks
the infinite loop.
Also apply the same limit in #getPackedObjectSize
and #selectObjectRepresentation where we use similar retry loops.
