'--object-only' is an alias for '--format=%(objectname)'. It cannot be used together other format-altering options like '--name-only', '--long' or '--format', they are mutually exclusive.

The "--name-only" option outputs <filepath> only. Likewise, <objectName> is another high frequency used field, so implement '--object-only' option will bring intuitive and clear semantics for this scenario. Using '--format=%(objectname)' we can achieve a similar effect, but the former is with a lower learning cost(without knowing the format requirement of '--format' option).

Even so, if a user is prefer to use "--format=%(objectname)", this is entirely welcome because they are not only equivalent in function, but also have almost identical performance. The reason is this commit also add the specific of "--format=%(objectname)" to the current fast-pathes (builtin formats) to avoid running unnecessary parsing mechanisms.

The following performance benchmarks are based on torvalds/linux.git:
  When hit the fast-path:
      Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --object-only HEAD
        Time (mean ± σ):      83.6 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 59.4 ms, System: 24.1 ms]
        Range (min … max):    80.4 ms …  87.2 ms    35 runs
      Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(objectname)' HEAD
        Time (mean ± σ):      84.1 ms ±   1.8 ms    [User: 61.7 ms, System: 22.3 ms]
        Range (min … max):    80.9 ms …  87.5 ms    35 runs
  But for a customized format, it will be slower:
       Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='oid: %(objectname)' HEAD
         Time (mean ± σ):      96.5 ms ±   2.5 ms    [User: 72.9 ms, System: 23.5 ms]
  	 Range (min … max):    93.1 ms … 104.1 ms    31 runs
