get_sha1_with_context: dynamically allocate oc->path
When a sha1 lookup returns the tree path via "struct
object_context", it just copies it into a fixed-size buffer.
This means the result can be truncated, and it means our
"struct object_context" consumes a lot of stack space.
Instead, let's allocate a string on the heap. Because most
callers don't care about this information, we'll avoid doing
it by default (so they don't all have to start calling
free() on the result). There are basically two options for
the caller to signal to us that it's interested:
1. By setting a pointer to storage in the object_context.
2. By passing a flag in another parameter.
Doing (1) would match the way that sha1_object_info_extended()
works. But it would mean that every caller would have to
initialize the object_context, which they don't currently
have to do.
This patch does (2), and adds a new bit to the function's
flags field. All of the callers that look at the "path"
field are updated to pass the new flag.
