[PATCH v2] Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blob

Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays object size of a blob entry. Object size is placed after object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters). For non-blob entries `-' is used.

Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much
meaning, and is not very interesting.  Moreover, in planned
pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree
size would need to be calculated... although isn't object size
stored in the header?

While at it, cleanup whitespace: tabs are for indent, spaces are for align.

I hope this addresses concerns mentioned in this thread: the
alternate name --size for -l/--long option, and showing size
for tree (and commit/submodule) objects.
