[PATCH 2/3] sha1_name: Unroll len loop in find_unique_abbrev_r

Unroll the while loop inside find_unique_abbrev_r to avoid iterating through all loose objects and packfiles multiple times when the short name is longer than the predicted length.

Instead, inspect each object that collides with the estimated abbreviation to find the longest common prefix.
