git-archive: convert archive entries like checkouts do

As noted by Johan Herland, git-archive is a kind of checkout and needs
to apply any checkout filters that might be configured.

This patch adds the convenience function convert_sha1_file which returns
a buffer containing the object's contents, after converting, if necessary
(i.e. it's a combination of read_sha1_file and convert_to_working_tree).
Direct calls to read_sha1_file in git-archive are then replaced by calls
to convert_sha1_file.

Since convert_sha1_file expects its path argument to be NUL-terminated --
a convention it inherits from convert_to_working_tree -- the patch also
changes the path handling in archive-tar.c to always NUL-terminate the
string.  It used to solely rely on the len field of struct strbuf before.

archive-zip.c already NUL-terminates the path and thus needs no such
change.
