fill_sha1_file: write into a strbuf

It's currently the responsibility of the caller to give
fill_sha1_file() enough bytes to write into, leading them to
manually compute the required lengths. Instead, let's just
write into a strbuf so that it's impossible to get this
wrong.

The alt_odb caller already has a strbuf, so this makes
things strictly simpler. The other caller, sha1_file_name(),
uses a static PATH_MAX buffer and dies when it would
overflow. We can convert this to a static strbuf, which
means our allocation cost is amortized (and as a bonus, we
no longer have to worry about PATH_MAX being too short for
normal use).

This does introduce some small overhead in fill_sha1_file(),
as each strbuf_addchar() will check whether it needs to
grow. However, between the optimization in fec501d
(strbuf_addch: avoid calling strbuf_grow, 2015-04-16) and
the fact that this is not generally called in a tight loop
(after all, the next step is typically to access the file!)
this probably doesn't matter. And even if it did, the right
place to micro-optimize is inside fill_sha1_file(), by
calling a single strbuf_grow() there.
