sha1_name: fix uninitialized memory errors

During abbreviation checks, we navigate to the position within a
pack-index that an OID would be inserted and check surrounding OIDs
for the maximum matching prefix. This position may be beyond the
last position, because the given OID is lexicographically larger
than every OID in the pack. Then nth_packed_object_oid() does not
initialize "oid".

Use the return value of nth_packed_object_oid() to prevent these
errors.

Also the comment about checking near-by objects miscounts the
neighbours.  If we have a hit at "first", we check "first-1" and
"first+1" to make sure we have sufficiently long abbreviation not to
match either.  If we do not have a hit, "first" is the smallest
among the objects that are larger than what we want to name, so we
check that and "first-1" to make sure we have sufficiently long
abbreviation not to match either.  In either case, we only check up
to two near-by objects.
