[PATCH --no-flowed] http-push: refactor request url creation

Hi,

Currently, functions that deal with objects on the remote repository have to allocate and do strcpys to generate the URL.

This patch saves them this trouble, by providing two functions, "append_remote_object_url" and "get_remote_object_url".

Both generate a URL, with either the object's 2-digit hex directory (eg. /objects/a1/), or the complete object location (eg. /objects/a1/b2).

However, they differ in that "append_remote_object_url" appends this URL to a strbuf, while "get_remote_object_url" wraps around the former and returns the URL directly in char*. Users usually would use "get_remote_object_url", but may find "append_remote_object_url" useful if they require further string operations on the URL.

---
* renamed only_two_digit_postfix in original patch to only_two_digit_prefix
* updated with Junio's changes (if (...) and fix memory leak)
* updated with Junio's double interface
* added back use of temporary string "url" in "start_fetch_loose"
* rebased and generated on master (a34a9db)
Crossing my fingers about format=flowed and linewraps.
