hash-object --literally: fix buffer overrun with extra-long object type

"hash-object" learned in 5ba9a93 (hash-object: add --literally
option, 2014-09-11) to allow crafting a corrupt/broken object of
unknown type.

When the user-provided type is particularly long, however, it can
overflow the relatively small stack-based character array handed to
write_sha1_file_prepare() by hash_sha1_file() and write_sha1_file(),
leading to stack corruption (and crash).  Introduce a custom helper
to allow arbitrarily long typenames just for "hash-object --literally".

[jc: Eric's original used a strbuf in the more common codepaths, and
I rewrote it to avoid penalizing the non-literally code. Bugs are mine]
