[PATCH 3/3] fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries

[Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx>]

Short of somebody happening to beat the 1 in 2^160 odds of
actually generating content that hashes to the null sha1, we
should never see this value in a tree entry. So let's have
fsck warn if it it seen.

As in the previous commit, we test both blob and submodule
entries to future-proof the test suite against the
implementation depending on connectivity to notice the
error.

I left this as a warning, because git can still mostly handle such
trees, which may aid in debugging or salvaging data.
