Stop having GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE imply GET_OID_QUIETLY in
get_oid_with_context_1().

The *_DIE flag was added in 33bd598c390 (sha1_name.c: teach lookup
context to get_sha1_with_context(), 2012-07-02), and then later
tweaked in 7243ffdd78d (get_sha1: avoid repeating ourselves via
ONLY_TO_DIE, 2016-09-26).

Everything in that commit makes sense, but only for callers that
expect to fail in an initial call to get_oid_with_context_1(), e.g. as
"git show 0017" does via handle_revision_arg(), and then would like to
call get_oid_with_context_1() again via this
maybe_die_on_misspelt_object_name() function.

In the subsequent commit we'll add a new caller that expects to call
this only once, but who would still like to have all the error
messaging that GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE gives it, in addition to any
regular errors.
