[PATCH 0/3] cat-file: add %(objectmode) avoid verifying submodules' OIDs

The cat-file --batch command is very valuable in server settings, but so far it is missing a bit of functionality that would come in handy there.

For example, it is sometimes necessary to determine the object mode of a batch of tree objects' children.

This came up in $dayjob recently, and applies cleanly to v2.44.0.
