(This series is based on my 'tb/sha1-unsafe-helper', which I sent to the
list here[1].)

This series implements an idea discussed in [2] which suggests that we
introduce a way to access a wrapped version of a 'struct git_hash_algo'
which represents the unsafe variant of that algorithm, rather than
having individual unsafe_ functions (like unsafe_init_fn() versus
init_fn(), etc.).

This approach is relatively straightforward to implement, and removes a
significant deficiency in the original implementation of
unsafe/non-cryptographic hash functions by making it impossible to
switch between safe- and unsafe variants of hash functions. It also
cleans up the sha1-unsafe test helper's implementation by removing a
large number of "if (unsafe)"-style conditionals.

The series is laid out as follows:

  * The first two patches prepare the hashfile API for the upcoming
    change:

      csum-file: store the hash algorithm as a struct field
      csum-file.c: extract algop from hashfile_checksum_valid()

  * The next patch implements the new 'unsafe_hash_algo()' function at
    the heart of this series' approach:

      hash.h: introduce `unsafe_hash_algo()`

  * The next two patches convert existing callers to use the new
    'unsafe_hash_algo()' function, instead of switching between safe and
    unsafe_ variants of individual functions:

      csum-file.c: use unsafe_hash_algo()
      t/helper/test-hash.c: use unsafe_hash_algo()

  * The final patch drops the unsafe_ function variants following all
    callers being converted to use the new pattern:

      hash.h: drop unsafe_ function variants

Thanks in advance for your review!
