When looking for an object by prefix, we query all the backends so that
we can ensure that there is no ambiguity.  We need to reset the `error`
value between backends; otherwise the first backend may find an object
by prefix, but subsequent backends may not.  If we do not reset the
`error` value then it will remain at `GIT_ENOTFOUND` and `read_prefix_1`
will fail, despite having actually found an object.
