[PATCH v11 13/13] ls-tree.c: support --object-only option for "git-ls-tree"

We usually pipe the output from `git ls-trees` to tools like `sed` or `cut` when we only want to extract some fields.

When we want only the pathname component, we can pass `--name-only` option to omit such a pipeline, but there are no options for extracting other fields.

Teach the "--object-only" option to the command to only show the object name. This option cannot be used together with "--name-only" or "--long" , they are mutually exclusive (actually "--name-only" and "--long" can be combined together before, this commit by the way fix this bug).

In terms of performance, there is no loss comparing to the "master" (2ae0a9c), here are the results of the performance tests in my environment based on linux repository:
