[PATCH 3/5] setup: defer object database creation

In a subsequent commit we'll make the creation of the on-disk data
structures of an object database pluggable. This will lead to an
in-between state where we have already configured the repository's
object database, but it's not usable yet until we eventually call
`create_object_directory()`.

Defer the object database creation so that we handle both steps in the
same function.
