Use O_NOATIME when opening the sha1 files.

We really don't care about atime, and it sucks to dirty the
inode cache just for it.

This is more than a one-liner only because we need to be able to
clear the O_NOATIME flag in case some of the objects are owned
by others (in which case open will return EPERM), and because not
everybody has the O_NOATIME flag.
