With this patch, cat-file can be invoked either on an arbitrary number
of objects, eg.

  git cat-file commit HEAD HEAD^^^

the object names can also be supplied on stdin, like so

  echo  -e 'HEAD\nHEAD^^^' | git cat-file commit -

With this functionality, the entire object database can be dumped with
a limited number of processes: two cat-file processes for discovering size and
type, and one cat-file process per type.
