get_oid_hex is already available for parsing hex object IDs into struct
object_id, but parsing code still must hard-code the number of bytes
read. Introduce parse_oid_hex, which accepts an optional length, and
also returns the number of bytes parsed on success, or 0 on failure.
This makes it easier for code not to assume fixed values when parsing,
and to move to larger hash functions in the future.
