This refactor extracts utility functions from the cat-file's test
script "t1006-cat-file.sh" into a new "lib-cat-file.sh" dedicated
library file. The goal is to improve code reuse and readability,
enabling future tests to leverage these utilities without duplicating
code.
Hmm, seems like a premature change to me. Do any of the subsequent
commits require this refactor? Maybe the follow-up series that enables
%objecttype support needs it? Did someone request this change in v11's
feedback?

If any of those are true, I think it's worthwhile mentioning it here. That will
make it easier to determine whether this change is truly necessary.
