sha1_file: introduce an nth_packed_object_oid function

There are places in the code where we would like to provide a struct
object_id *, yet read the hash directly from the pack.  Provide an
nth_packed_object_oid function that is similar to the
nth_packed_object_sha1 function.

In order to avoid a potentially invalid cast, nth_packed_object_oid
provides a variable into which to store the value, which it returns on
success; on error, it returns NULL, as nth_packed_object_sha1 does.
