Fix marking experiment crates as complete
When processing GitHub repositories, our list usually (always?) contains a repository without any form of commit hash. Crater agents checkout that repository and, as part of building it, record the commit hash they used. The agent then submits that hash to the db for storage. When storing the hash, we *replace* the "crate name" (owner.reponame) with a more specific ID (e.g., owner.reponame.$cratehash). This means that the set of crates we tested has effectively *changed* at this point from our perspective. Next we store results (previously under the original name, now under the new name) and also update the (previous old, now new) experiment_crates record to mark it complete. The net effect is that prior to this commit (and likely since ~Aug 31) every GitHub repository has been repeatedly tested by Crater until we eventually hit count(results) >= count(experiment_crates). This is basically just a random point in time though, AFAICT there's no relationship between the set of crates we wanted to test and the set of results we have. One saving factor is there's some amount of fixed point -- if the GitHub repository we test doesn't receive any new commits between attempts to run it, we'll re-test the same code and the old/new IDs will match, letting us mark it as complete. But this is at best a minor improvement, it's not actually a mitigating factor. As a future TODO, we probably should update the "finish condition" from counting results and experiment_crates and instead use something like "are there any experiment_crates with a status of queued" which makes much more sense.
