This brings libgit2 more in line with Git.
Note that git_filebuf_commit() and git_filebuf_commit_at() have both
gained a new mode parameter.
The latter change fixes an important issue where filebufs created with
GIT_FILEBUF_TEMPORARY received 0600 permissions (due to mkstemp(3)
usage). Now we chmod() the file before renaming it into place.
Tests have been added to confirm that new commit, tag, and tree
objects are created with the right permissions. I don't have access to
Windows, so for now I've guarded the tests with "#ifndef GIT_WIN32".
The `hashfile` function has been moved to ODB, next to `git_odb_hash`.
Global state has been removed from the dirent call in `status.c`,
because global state is killing the rainforest and causing global
warming.
Add git_status_hashfile() to get blob's object id for a file without adding
it to the object database or needing a repository at all.
This functionality is similar to `git hash-object` without '-w'.
