Add "unpack_sha1_header()" helper function

It's for people who aren't necessarily interested in the whole
unpacked file, but do want to know the header information (size,
type, etc..)

For example, the delta code can use this to figure out whether
an object is already a delta object, and what it is a delta
against, without actually bothering to unpack all of the actual
data in the delta.
