hex: add functions to parse hex object IDs in any algorithm

There are some places where we need to parse a hex object ID in any
algorithm without knowing beforehand which algorithm is in use. An
example is when parsing fast-import marks.

Add a get_oid_hex_any to parse an object ID and return the algorithm it
belongs to, and additionally add parse_oid_hex_any which is the
equivalent change for parse_oid_hex. If the object is not parseable, we
return GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN.
