[PATCH 1/4] fast-import: allow object_table to grow dynamically

The current custom hash tables in fast-import.c do not grow.  This
causes poor performance for very large imports.

Fortunately, we have struct hash_table and friends so there's no need
to write cumbersome hash table growth code.

[jn: using native endianness for hash, new commit message; with
 init_hash call, even though it's not currently needed]
