Replace parse_blob() with an explanatory comment

parse_blob() has never actually been used; it has served simply to
avoid having a confusing gap in the API. Instead of leaving it, put in
a comment that explains what "parsing a blob" entails (making sure the
object is actually readable), and why code might care whether a blob
has been parsed or not.

/**
* Blobs do not contain references to other objects and do not have
* structured data that needs parsing. However, code may use the
* "parsed" bit in the struct object for a blob to determine whether
* its content has been found to actually be available, so
* parse_blob_buffer() is used (by object.c) to flag that the object
