[PATCH 0/2] cat-file: support NUL-delimited input with `-z`

This short patch series implements a `-z` mode that is compatible with
the `--batch`, `--batch-check`, and new `--batch-command` options in
`cat-file`.

This came out of a request from a colleague to support `cat-file`
invocations that refer to a tree entry whose name includes a newline
character.

The implementation is mostly straightforward, though the second patch
(which contains the main substance of this change) has a few additional
thoughts on areas for future cleanup. The first patch is preparatory, but
could easily be squashed, too.

Thanks in advance for your review!
