[PATCH 5/9] builtin/cat-file: support "object:type=" objects filter

From: Patrick Steinhardt <hidden>
Date: 2025-02-21 07:47:39
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Implement support for the "object:type=" filter in git-cat-file(1),
which causes us to omit all objects that don't match the provided object
type.
