sha1_file_name(): overwrite buffer instead of appending

The sha1_file_name() function is used to generate the path to a loose
object in the object directory. It doesn't make much sense for it to
append, since the the path we write may be absolute (i.e., you cannot
reliably build up a path with it). Because many callers use it with a
static buffer, they have to strbuf_reset() manually before each call
(and the other callers always use an empty buffer, so they don't care
either way). Let's handle this automatically.

Since we're changing the semantics, let's take the opportunity to give
it a more hash-neutral name (which will also catch any callers from
topics in flight).
