Introduce SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES to support multiple object databases.
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES environment variable is a colon separated paths used when looking for SHA1 files not found in the usual place for reading. Creating a new SHA1 file does not use this alternate object database location mechanism. This is useful to archive older, rarely used objects into separate directories.
