object_as_type: set commit index

The point of the "index" field of struct commit is that
every allocated commit would have one. It is supposed to be
an invariant that whenever object->type is set to
OBJ_COMMIT, we have a unique index.

Commit 969eba6 (commit: push commit_index update into
alloc_commit_node, 2014-06-10) covered this case for
newly-allocated commits. However, we may also allocate an
"unknown" object via lookup_unknown_object, and only later
convert it to a commit. We must make sure that we set the
commit index when we switch the type field.
