get_short_sha1: parse tags when looking for treeish

The treeish disambiguation function tries to peel tags, but
it does so by calling:

  deref_tag(lookup_object(sha1), ...);

This will only work if we have previously looked at the tag
and created a "struct tag" for it. Since parsing revision
arguments typically happens before anything else, this is
usually not the case, and we would fail to peel the tag (we
are lucky that deref_tag() gracefully handles the NULL and
does not segfault).

Instead, we can use parse_object(). Note that this is the
same fix done by 94d75d1 (get_short_sha1(): correctly
disambiguate type-limited abbreviation, 2013-07-01), but
that commit fixed only the committish disambiguator, and
left the bug in the treeish one.
