Sam James pointed out that my recent patch to add ptid_t::parse caused
a selftest crash.

At first I couldn't see why this did not crash for me, but then I
realized that ptid_t::parse didn't unconditionally initialize '*obuf'.
Initializing it to nullptr made this crash reliably.

The underlying bug is that some code paths in ptid_t::parse don't set
obuf on return.  This patch fixes the bug by passing 'obuf' down to
hex_or_minus_one.

Since this is straightforward and fixes a new crash, I'm checking it
in.
