apply: fix uninitialized hash function
"git apply" can work outside a repository as a better "GNU patch", but when it does so, it still assumed that it can access the_hash_algo, which is no longer true in the new world order. Make sure we explicitly fall back to SHA-1 algorithm for backward compatibility. It is of dubious value to make this configurable to other hash algorithms, as the code does not use the_hash_algo for hashing purposes when working outside a repository (which is how the_hash_algo is left to NULL)---it is only used to learn the max length of the hash when parsing the object names on the "index" line, but failing to parse the "index" line is not a hard failure, and the program does not support operations like applying binary patches and --3way fallback that requires object access outside a repository.
