[PATCH] docs: explain the order of output in the batched mode of git-cat-file(1)

["ahmed akef via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: ahmed akef <aemed.akef.1@gmail.com>

The batched mode of git-cat-file(1) reads multiple objects from stdin
and prints their respective contents to stdout.
The order in which those objects are printed is not documented
and may not be immediately obvious to the user.
Document it.
