object-file-convert: stop depending on `the_repository`
There are multiple sites in "object-file-convert.c" where we use the
global `the_repository` variable, either explicitly or implicitly by
using `the_hash_algo`. All of these callsites are transitively called
from `convert_object_file()`, which indeed has no repo as input.
Refactor the function so that it receives a repository as a parameter
and pass it through to all internal functions to get rid of the
dependency. Remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define.
