hex: default to the_hash_algo on zero algorithm value

There are numerous places in the codebase where we assume we can
initialize data by zeroing all its bytes.  However, when we do that with
a struct object_id, it leaves the structure with a zero value for the
algorithm, which is invalid.

We could forbid this pattern and require that all struct object_id
instances be initialized using oidclr, but this seems burdensome and
it's unnatural to most C programmers.  Instead, if the algorithm is
zero, assume we wanted to use the default hash algorithm instead.
