There's only a single caller left of sha1_to_hex(), since everybody
that has an object name in "unsigned char[]" now uses hash_to_hex()
instead.
This case is in the sha1dc wrapper, where we print a hex sha1 when
we find a collision. This one will always be sha1, regardless of the
current hash algorithm, so we can't use hash_to_hex() here. In
practice we'd probably not be running sha1 at all if it isn't the
current algorithm, but it's possible we might still occasionally
need to compute a sha1 in a post-sha256 world.
Since sha1_to_hex() is just a wrapper for hash_to_hex_algop(), let's
call that ourselves. There's value in getting rid of the sha1-specific
wrapper to de-clutter the global namespace, and to make sure nobody uses
it (and as with sha1_to_hex_r() in the previous patch, we'll drop the
coccinelle transformations, too).
The sha1_to_hex() function is mentioned in a comment; we can easily
swap that out for oid_to_hex() to give a better example. Also
update the comment that was left stale when we added "struct
object_id *" as a way to name an object and added functions to
convert it to hex.
The function is also mentioned in some test vectors in t4100, but
that's not runnable code, so there's no point in trying to clean it
up.

Some distros provide SHA1 collision-detect code as a shared library.
It's the same code as we have in git tree (but may be with a different
init default for hash), and git can link with it as well; at least, it
may make maintenance easier, according to our security guys.
This patch allows user to build git linking with the external sha1dc
library instead of the built-in code. User needs to define
DC_SHA1_EXTERNAL explicitly. As default without it, the built-in
sha1dc code is used like before.

The plumbing code between sha1dc and git is defined in
sha1dc_git.[ch], but these aren't compiled / included directly but
only via the indirect inclusion from sha1dc code. This is slightly
confusing when you try to trace the build flow.
This patch brings the following changes for simplification:
- Make sha1dc_git.c stand-alone and build from Makefile
- sha1dc_git.h is the common header to include further sha1.h
depending on the build condition
- Move comments for plumbing codes from the header to definitions
This is also meant as a preliminary work for further plumbing with
external sha1dc shlib.
