get_sha1_with_context: always initialize oc->symlink_path

The get_sha1_with_context() function zeroes out the
oc->symlink_path strbuf, but doesn't use strbuf_init() to
set up the usual invariants (like pointing to the slopbuf).
We don't actually write to the oc->symlink_path strbuf
unless we call get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks(), and that
function does initialize it. However, readers may still look
at the zero'd strbuf.

In practice this isn't a triggerable bug. The only caller
that looks at it only does so when the mode we found is 0.
This doesn't happen for non-tree-entries (where we return
S_IFINVALID). A broken tree entry could have a mode of 0,
but canon_mode() quietly rewrites that into S_IFGITLINK.
So the "0" mode should only come up when we did indeed find
a symlink.

This is mostly just an accident of how the code happens to
work, though. Let's future-proof ourselves to make sure the
strbuf is properly initialized for all calls (it's only a
few struct member assignments, not a heap allocation).
