cat-file: use GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE in --(textconv|filters)
Change the cat_one_file() logic that calls get_oid_with_context()
under --textconv and --filters to use the GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE flag,
thus improving the error messaging emitted when e.g. <path> is missing
but <rev> is not.
To service the "cat-file" use-case we need to introduce a new
"GET_OID_REQUIRE_PATH" flag, otherwise it would exit early as soon as
a valid "HEAD" was resolved, but in the "cat-file" case being changed
we always need a valid revision and path.
This arguably makes the "<bad rev>:<bad path>" and "<bad
rev>:<good (in HEAD) path>" use cases worse, as we won't quote the
<path> component at the user anymore, but let's just use the existing
logic "git log" et al use for now. We can improve the messaging for
those cases as a follow-up for all callers.
