[PATCH v3 4/4] rev-list: extend print-info to print missing object type

From

Additional information about missing objects found in git-rev-list(1) can be printed by specifying the `print-info` missing action for the `--missing` option. Extend this action to also print missing object type information inferred from its containing object. This token follows the form `type=<type>` and specifies the expected object type of the missing object.
