[PATCH v2 3/4] test-lib-functions: add helper for trailing hash

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

It can be helpful to check that a file format with a trailing hash has a
specific hash in the final bytes of a written file. This is made more
apparent by recent changes that allow skipping the hash algorithm and
writing a null hash at the end of the file instead.

Add a new test_trailing_hash helper and use it in t1600 to verify that
index.skipHash=true really does skip the hash computation, since
'git fsck' does not actually verify the hash.

Keep the 'git fsck' call to ensure that any potential future change to
check the index hash does not cause an error in this case.
