Git object hashing in libutil

This is the core functionality but just unit-tested and not yet made
part of the store layer. This is because there is some tech debt around
(a) repeated boilerplate hashing objects (b) better integration of the
new `SourceAccessor` type that needs to be cleaned up first.

Part of RFC 133
