[PATCH 01/19] cat-file: handle trivial --batch format with --batch-all-objects

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

The --batch code to print an object assumes we found out the type of
the object from calling oid_object_info_extended(). This is true for
the default format, but even in a custom format, we manually modify
the object_info struct to ask for the type.

This assumption was broken by 845de33a5b (cat-file: avoid noop calls
to sha1_object_info_extended, 2016-05-18). That commit skips the call
to oid_object_info_extended() entirely when --batch-all-objects is in
use, and the custom format does not include any placeholders that
require calling it.

Or when the custom format only include placeholders like %(objectname) or
%(rest), oid_object_info_extended() will not get the type of the object.

This results in an error when we try to confirm that the type didn't
change:

$ git cat-file --batch=batman --batch-all-objects
batman
fatal: object 000023961a0c02d6e21dc51ea3484ff71abf1c74 changed type!?

and also has other subtle effects (e.g., we'd fail to stream a blob,
since we don't realize it's a blob in the first place).

We can fix this by flipping the order of the setup. The check for "do
we need to get the object info" must come _after_ we've decided
whether we need to look up the type.
