Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 4627c67fa6 object-file: fix a unpack_loose_header() regression in 3b6a8db3b0 ...

Fix a regression in my 3b6a8db3b0 (object-file.c: use "enum" return
type for unpack_loose_header(), 2021-10-01) revealed both by running
the test suite with --valgrind, and with the amended "git fsck" test.

In practice this regression in v2.34.0 caused us to claim that we
couldn't parse the header, as opposed to not being able to unpack
it. Before the change in the C code the test_cmp added here would emit:

	-error: unable to unpack header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
	+error: unable to parse header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391

I.e. we'd proceed to call parse_loose_header() on the uninitialized
"hdr" value, and it would have been very unlikely for that
uninitialized memory to be a valid git object.

The other callers of unpack_loose_header() were already checking the
enum values exhaustively. See 3b6a8db3b0 and
5848fb11ac (object-file.c: return ULHR_TOO_LONG on "header too long",
2021-10-01).
