describe: pass oid struct by const pointer
We pass a "struct object_id" to describe_blob() by value. This isn't wrong, as an oid is composed only of copy-able values. But it's unusual; typically we pass structs by const pointer, including object_ids. Let's do so. It similarly makes sense for us to hold that pointer in the callback data (rather than yet another copy of the oid).
