sha1_file.c: do not die failing to malloc in unpack_compressed_entry
Fewer die() gives better control to the caller, provided that the caller _can_ handle it. And in unpack_compressed_entry() case, it can, because unpack_compressed_entry() already returns NULL if it fails to inflate data. A side effect from this is fsck continues to run when very large blobs are present (and do not fit in memory). Noticed-by: Dale R.
