Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or
REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages:

  1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication
     for overflow.

  2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size,
     so that it can never go out of sync with the declared
     type of the array.

<content type='text'>
More transition from "unsigned char[40]" to "struct object_id".

This needed a few merge fixups, but is mostly disentangled from other
topics.

* bc/object-id:
  remote: convert functions to struct object_id
  Remove get_object_hash.
  Convert struct object to object_id
  Add several uses of get_object_hash.
  object: introduce get_object_hash macro.
  ref_newer: convert to use struct object_id
  push_refs_with_export: convert to struct object_id
  get_remote_heads: convert to struct object_id
  parse_fetch: convert to use struct object_id
  add_sought_entry_mem: convert to struct object_id
  Convert struct ref to use object_id.
  sha1_file: introduce has_object_file helper.

Convert all instances of get_object_hash to use an appropriate reference
to the hash member of the oid member of struct object.  This provides no
functional change, as it is essentially a macro substitution.

<content type='text'>
When fsck validates a commit or a tag, it scans each line in the
header of the object using helper functions such as "start_with()",
etc. that work on a NUL terminated buffer, but before a1e920a0
(index-pack: terminate object buffers with NUL, 2014-12-08), the
validation functions were fed the object data in a piece of memory
that is not necessarily terminated with a NUL.

We added a helper function require_end_of_header() to be called at
the beginning of these validation functions to insist that the
object data contains an empty line before its end.  The theory is
that the validating functions will notice and stop when it hits an
empty line as a normal end of header (or a required header line that
is missing) without scanning past the end of potentially not
NUL-terminated buffer.

But the theory forgot that in the older days, Git itself happily
created objects with only the header lines without a body. This
caused Git 2.2 and later to issue an unnecessary warning in some
existing repositories.

With a1e920a0, we do not need to require an empty line (or the body)
in these objects to safely parse and validate them.  Drop the
offending "must have an empty line" check from this helper function,
while keeping the other check to make sure that there is no NUL in
the header part of the object, and adjust the name of the helper to
what it does accordingly.

The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path
to a file listing the names, i.e. SHA-1s, one per line, of objects that
are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`.

This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).

The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects
that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the
repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file
when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those
problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.
