[PATCH 1/3] t1006: update 'run_tests' to test generic object specifiers

From

Message-ID
<e05c5bea7143d54a5cdb2d9cbfe944409c891797.1748890555.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1929.git.1748890555.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Update the 'run_tests' test wrapper so that the first argument may refer to any specifier that uniquely identifies an object (e.g. a ref name, '<OID>:<path>', '<OID>^{<type>}', etc.), rather than only a full object ID.

Also add tests that use non-OID identifiers, ensuring appropriate parsing in 'cat-file'. The identifiers used in some of the added tests include a space, which is incompatible with the '%(rest)' atom. To accommodate that without removing the test case, use 'test_expect_failure' when 'object_name' includes a space.
