[PATCH 5/6] fsck: provide a function to fsck buffer without object struct

From

The fsck code has been slowly moving away from requiring an object struct in commits like 103fb6d43b (fsck: accept an oid instead of a "struct tag" for fsck_tag(), 2019-10-18), c5b4269b57 (fsck: accept an oid instead of a "struct commit" for fsck_commit(), 2019-10-18), etc.

However, the only external interface that fsck.c provides is fsck_object(), which requires an object struct, then promptly discards everything except its oid and type. Let's factor out the post-discard part of that function as fsck_buffer(), leaving fsck_object() as a thin wrapper around it. That will provide more flexibility for callers which may not have a struct.

This is obviously preparation for the next patch. But I suspect it could
be used elsewhere, too. Regular fsck wants object structs anyway to hold
flags, I think, but index-pack could probably save some memory and
effort by avoiding them. I didn't look too closely, as it's all out of
scope for this series.
