[PATCH 5/4] apply: fix uninitialized hash function

"git apply" can work outside a repository as a better "GNU patch",
but when it does so, it still assumed that it can access
the_hash_algo, which is no longer true in the new world order.

Make sure we explicitly fall back to SHA-1 algorithm for backward
compatibility.  Just like we argued for hash-objects, we probably
should have a mechanism to specify the hash algorithm used outside
a repository.

 * After finishing these steps, it started to dawn on me that we
   probably can instead add GIT_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGO environment
   variable for exactly that purpose.  Then the escape hatch I
   introduced in [1/4] can become just that.
