[PATCH 1/2] sha1_file: replace PATH_MAX buffer wirh strbuf in prepare_packed_git_one()

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>

Message-ID
<53AED59B.1020209@web.de>

Instead of using strbuf to create a message string in case a path is too long for our fixed-size buffer, replace that buffer with a strbuf and thus get rid of the limitation.
