Allow easier parsing by cat-file by giving rev-list an option to print
only the OID of a non-commit object without any additional information.
This is a short-term shim; later on, rev-list should be taught how to
print the types of objects it finds in a format similar to cat-file's.

Before this commit, the output from rev-list needed to be massaged
before being piped to cat-file, like so:

  git rev-list --objects HEAD | cut -f 1 -d ' ' |
    git cat-file --batch-check

This was especially unexpected when dealing with root trees, as an
invisible whitespace exists at the end of the OID:

  git rev-list --objects --filter=tree:1 --max-count=1 HEAD |
    xargs -I% echo "AA%AA"

Now, it can be piped directly, as in the added test case:

  git rev-list --objects --no-object-names HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check

Since v3, added a corresponding "--object-names" arg to pair with
"--no-object-names", and "last-one-wins" logic. Also added a test to
validate this new arg and the logic.

I did not take Junio's suggestion of naming the arg "show_object_names"
as "arg_show_object_names" better matches the existing style of
builtin/revlist.c.

In adding the test, I noticed that I had left in a test about --oid-only
that doesn't apply after the changes from v2->v3; that test is removed.

Thanks for a quick turnaround (unfortunately, I was OOO yesterday
and I am half-sick today, so please expect slow responses---sorry
about that).

I noticed in range-diff, too.  So now --object-names can be used
with --pretty (not that "rev-list --pretty --objects" makes much
sense in the first place, so no point in testing that it works).

Yeah, it works. It looks weird, but it works pretty much as you'd
expect:

Ah, but when I was grabbing these samples, I noticed that I didn't
update the manpage for rev-list. So please wait while I reroll again...
sorry!

I think that something like:

  git rev-list --in-commit-order --oneline --objects HEAD

could make sense to get a rough idea of which commits are mentioning
which objects (though in most cases I'd probably use "log --find-object"
these days, since it's more precise; rev-list is looking in a funny
reverse order).
