[sp: Credit for some of this implementation goes to Pieter, I
started off a patch he proposed for libgit2 but reworked
enough of it that I don't want to blame him for any bugs.]

These are easily built off the standard C library functions memcpy
and memcmp. By marking these inline we stand a good chance of
the C compiler replacing the entire thing with tight machine code,
because many compilers will actually inline a memcmp or memcpy when
the 3rd argument (the size) is a constant value.

We only want hex digits to be read, any other character in the 8-bit
character set is invalid within an id string.

This is a horribly simple test suite that makes it fairly easy to
put together some basic function level unit tests on the library.
Its patterned somewhat after the test suite in git.git, but also
after the "Check" test library.
