ok naddy

It looks like
  add_ref()
  cmd_cherrypick()
  cmd_backout()
don't use got_repo_match_object_id() and have hand-rolled code that
matches the old logic.

Also, got_repo_match_object_id_prefix() accepts hex strings of
unlimited length as a prefix.  I can't tell if that is a forward-thinking
feature or an omission.
