27472b5195 cat-file: fix a common "struct object_context" memory leak
Fix a memory leak where "cat-file" will leak the "path" member. See
e5fba602e5 (textconv: support for cat_file, 2010-06-15) for the code
that introduced the offending get_oid_with_context() call (called
get_sha1_with_context() at the time).

As a result we can mark several tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
using "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".

As noted in dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically allocate
oc->path, 2017-05-19) callers must free the "path" member. That same
commit added the relevant free() to this function, but we weren't
catching cases where we'd return early.

f0dc593a95 tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test ! -s'
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is preferable to 'test ! -s', because it
gives a helpful error message if the given file is unexpectedly no
empty, while the latter remains completely silent.  Furthermore, it
also catches cases when the given file unexpectedly does not exist at
all.

This patch was created by:

  sed -i -e 's/test ! -s/test_must_be_empty/' t[0-9]*.sh

cc0ea7c9e5 cat-file: handle NULL object_context.path
Commit dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically
allocate oc->path, 2017-05-19) changed the rules that
callers must follow for seeing if we parsed a path in the
object name. The rules switched from "check if the oc.path
buffer is empty" to "check if the oc.path pointer is NULL".
But that commit forgot to update some sites in
cat_one_file(), meaning we might dereference a NULL pointer.

You can see this by making a path-aware request like
--textconv without specifying --path, and giving an object
name that doesn't have a path in it. Like:

  git cat-file --textconv HEAD

which will reliably segfault.

321459439e cat-file: support --textconv/--filters in batch mode
With this patch, --batch can be combined with --textconv or --filters.
For this to work, the input needs to have the form

	<object name><single white space><path>

so that the filters can be chosen appropriately.

7bcf341453 cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separately
There are circumstances when it is relatively easy to figure out the
object name for a given path, but not the name of the containing tree.
For example, when looking at a diff generated by Git, the object names
are recorded, but not the revision. As a matter of fact, the revisions
from which the diff was generated may not even exist locally.

In such a case, the user would have to generate a fake revision just to
be able to use --textconv or --filters.

Let's simplify this dramatically, because we do not really need that
revision at all: all we care about is that we know the path. In the
scenario described above, we do know the path, and we just want to
specify it separately from the object name.

Example usage:

	git cat-file --textconv --path=main.c 0f1937fd

b9e62f6011 cat-file: introduce the --filters option
The --filters option applies the convert_to_working_tree() filter for
the path when showing the contents of a regular file blob object;
the contents are written out as-is for other types of objects.

This feature comes in handy when a 3rd-party tool wants to work with
the contents of files from past revisions as if they had been checked
out, but without detouring via temporary files.
