object-file API: add a format_object_header() function

Add a convenience function to wrap the xsnprintf() command that
generates loose object headers. This code was copy/pasted in various
parts of the codebase, let's define it in one place and re-use it from
there.

All except one caller of it had a valid "enum object_type" for us,
it's only write_object_file_prepare() which might need to deal with
"git hash-object --literally" and a potential garbage type. Let's have
the primary API use an "enum object_type", and define a *_literally()
function that can take an arbitrary "const char *" for the type.

See [1] for the discussion that prompted this patch, i.e. new code in
object-file.c that wanted to copy/paste the xsnprintf() invocation.

In the case of fast-import.c the callers unfortunately need to cast
back & forth between "unsigned char *" and "char *", since
format_object_header() ad encode_in_pack_object_header() take
different signedness.
