object-file: split up concerns of `HASH_*` flags

The functions `hash_object_file()`, `write_object_file()` and `index_fd()` reuse the same set of flags to alter their behaviour. This not only adds confusion, but given that every function only supports a subset of the flags it becomes very hard to see which flags can be passed to what function. Last but not least, this entangles the implementation of all three function families. Split up concerns by creating separate flags for each of the function families.
