cat-file: add %(objectsize:disk) format atom

Browse source 
This atom is just like %(objectsize), except that it shows
the on-disk size of the object rather than the object's true
size. In other words, it makes the "disk_size" query of
sha1_object_info_extended available via the command-line.

This can be used for rough attribution of disk usage to
particular refs, though see the caveats in the
documentation.

This patch does not include any tests, as the exact numbers
returned are volatile and subject to zlib and packing
decisions. We cannot even reliably guarantee that the
on-disk size is smaller than the object content (though in
general this should be the case for non-trivial objects).

Note that the sizes of objects on disk are reported accurately, but care
should be taken in drawing conclusions about which refs or objects are
responsible for disk usage. The size of a packed non-delta object may be
much larger than the size of objects which delta against it, but the
choice of which object is the base and which is the delta is arbitrary
and is subject to change during a repack. Note also that multiple copies
of an object may be present in the object database; in this case, it is
undefined which copy's size will be reported.
