now that there's a single user of char *filename, we might as well do
away with it.

squashing it in, as it might be detrimental to patch #05's readability

Subject: [PATCH] http.c::new_http_pack_request: do away with the temp variable filename

Now that the temporary variable char *filename is only used in one
place, do away with it and just call sha1_pack_name() directly.
