Fix a blindspot in the tests for the "rev-list --disk-usage" feature added in 16950f8384a (rev-list: add --disk-usage option for calculating disk usage, 2021-02-09) to test for what happens when it's asked to calculate the disk usage of invalid object types.
I'm not sure that I agree this is a blindspot, or at least one worth testing. Is the goal to add tests to every Git command that might have to do something with a corrupt object and make sure that it is handled correctly? I'm not sure that doing so would be useful, or at the very least that it would be worth the effort. That's not to say I'm not interested in having tests fail when we don't handle corrupt objects correctly, but more to say that I think there are so many parts of Git that might touch a corrupt object that trying to test all of them seems like a losing battle. Assuming that this is a useful direction, though...

Since this is cloned within the working directory, should we bother to clean this up to avoid munging with future tests?
