Until now, this has been part of the commit-tree builtin. However, it is already used by other builtins (like commit, merge, and notes), and it would be useful to access it from library code. The check_valid helper has to come along, too, but is given a more library-ish name of "assert_sha1_type". Otherwise, the code is unchanged. There are still a few rough edges for a library function, like printing the utf8 warning to stderr, but we can address those if and when they come up as inappropriate.
