David Barr 85c62395b1 fast-import: let importers retrieve blobs ...

New objects written by fast-import are not available immediately.
Until a checkpoint has been started and finishes writing the pack
index, any new blobs will not be accessible using standard git tools.

So introduce a new way to access them: a "cat-blob" command in the
command stream requests for fast-import to print a blob to stdout or a
file descriptor specified by the argument to --cat-blob-fd.  The value
for cat-blob-fd cannot be specified in the stream because that would
be a layering violation: the decision of where to direct a stream has
to be made when fast-import is started anyway, so we might as well
make the stream format is independent of that detail.

Output uses the same format as "git cat-file --batch".

Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier and Sam Vilain for guidance in designing
the protocol.
