[PATCH] sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is false

This change ensures get_sha1_basic() doesn't try to resolve full hashes as refs when ambiguous ref warnings are disabled.

This provides a substantial performance improvement when passing many
hashes to a command (like "git rev-list --stdin") when
core.warnambiguousrefs is false. The check incurs 6 stat()s for every
hash supplied, which can be costly over NFS.
