get_sha1: avoid repeating ourselves via ONLY_TO_DIE
When the revision code cannot parse an argument like "HEAD:foo", it will call maybe_die_on_misspelt_object_name(), which re-runs get_sha1() with an extra ONLY_TO_DIE flag. We then spend more effort to generate a better error message. Unfortunately, a side effect is that our second call may repeat the same error messages from the original get_sha1() call. You can see this with: $ git show 0017 error: short SHA1 0017 is ambiguous. error: short SHA1 0017 is ambiguous. fatal: ambiguous argument '0017': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]' where the second "error:" line comes from the ONLY_TO_DIE call. To fix this, we can make ONLY_TO_DIE imply QUIETLY. This is a little odd, because the whole point of ONLY_TO_DIE is to output error messages. But what we want to do is tell the rest of the get_sha1() code (particularly get_sha1_1()) that the _regular_ messages should be quiet, but the only-to-die ones should not.
