As discussed [1], there is some concern around binary file formats requiring the context of the repository config in order to infer hash lengths. Two formats that were designed with the hash transition in mind (commit-graph and multi-pack-index) have bytes available to indicate the hash algorithm used. Let's actually update these formats to be more self-contained with the two hash algorithms being available.
