[PATCH 0/3] cat-file: add %(objectmode) avoid verifying submodules' OIDs

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

The cat-file --batch command is very valuable in server settings, but so far
it is missing a bit of functionality that would come in handy there.

For example, it is sometimes necessary to determine the object mode of a
batch of tree objects' children.

This came up in $dayjob recently, and applies cleanly to v2.44.0.
