[PATCH v4 02/12] sha1-file: provide functions to look up hash algorithms

From: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

Message-ID: <20181025024005.154208-3-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
In-Reply-To: <20181025024005.154208-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

There are several ways we might refer to a hash algorithm: by name, such as in the config file; by format ID, such as in a pack; or internally, by a pointer to the hash_algos array. Provide functions to look up hash algorithms based on these various forms and return the internal constant used for them. If conversion to another form is necessary, this internal constant can be used to look up the proper data in the hash_algos array.
