path-walk: improve path-walk speed with many tags

In the presence of many tags, the use of oid_array_lookup() can become
extremely slow. We should rely upon the SEEN bit instead.

This affects the tag-peeling walk as well as the switch statement for
adding the peeled object to the correct oid_array.
