brian m. carlson ecde49bb8a t/oid-info: allow looking up hash algorithm name
The test_oid function provides a mechanism for looking up hash algorithm
information, but it doesn't specify a way to discover the hash algorithm
name.  Knowing this information is useful if one wants to invoke the
test-tool helper for the algorithm in use, such as in our pack
generation library.

While it's currently possible to inspect the global variable holding
this value, in the future we'll allow specifying an algorithm for
storage and an algorithm for display, so it's better to abstract this
value away.  To assist with this, provide a named entry in the
algorithm-specific lookup table that prints the algorithm in use.

This directory contains various per-hash values that are used in the testsuite.

Each file contains lines containing a key-value pair; blank lines and lines
starting with `#` are ignored.  The key and value are separated by whitespace
(specifically, those whitespace in the default `$IFS`).  The key consists only
of shell identifier characters, and the value consists of a hash algorithm,
colon, and value.  The hash algorithm also consists only of shell identifier
characters; it should match the value in sha1-file.c.

For example, the following lines map the key "rawsz" to "20" if SHA-1 is in use
and to "32" if SHA-256 is in use:

----
rawsz sha1:20
rawsz sha256:32
----

The keys and values used here are loaded by `test_oid_init` (see the README file
in the "t" directory) and are used by calling `test_oid`.
