[PATCH 1/2] cat-file: restore warn_on_object_refname_ambiguity flag

Commit 25fba78 turned off the object/refname ambiguity check during "git cat-file --batch" operations. However, this is a global flag, so let's restore it when we are done.

This shouldn't make any practical difference, as cat-file exits immediately afterwards, but is good code hygeine and would prevent an unnecessary surprise if somebody starts to call cmd_cat_file later.

It also matches the restore behavior from the next patch, which adds
similar code to "rev-list --stdin". Which I think makes more sense, as
we often start revision traversals from inside other programs. Though it
is reasonably unlikely to use "--stdin" with such a traversal.
