[PATCH] rev-list: print missing object type with --missing=print-type

Handling of missing objects encounted by git-rev-list(1) can be configured with the `--missing=<action>` option and specifying the desired action. Of the available missing actions, none provide a way to print additional information about the missing object such as its type.

Add a new missing action called `print-type`. Similar to `print`, this action prints a list of missing objects but also includes the object type if available in the form: `?<oid> [type]`.

Instead of adding an additional missing action type for the explicit
purpose of printing type info, I also considered a separate option
(something like `--object-types`, or maybe a `--missing-format`) that
could be used in combination with the `--missing=print` option to
achieve the same result. The main intent is for the missing object type
and I wasn't sure if type info would be useful in the general case so I
opted to choose the former approach.
Thanks,
-Justin

 If some tips passed to the traversal are missing, they will be
 considered as missing too, and the traversal will ignore them. In case
 we cannot get their Object ID though, an error will be raised.
