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.
