Change the cat_one_file() logic that calls get_oid_with_context()
under --textconv and --filters to use the GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE flag,
thus improving the error messaging emitted when e.g. <path> is missing
but <rev> is not.
To service the "cat-file" use-case we need to introduce a new
"GET_OID_REQUIRE_PATH" flag, otherwise it would exit early as soon as
a valid "HEAD" was resolved, but in the "cat-file" case being changed
we always need a valid revision and path.
This arguably makes the "<bad rev>:<bad path>" and "<bad
rev>:<good (in HEAD) path>" use cases worse, as we won't quote the
<path> component at the user anymore, but let's just use the existing
logic "git log" et al use for now. We can improve the messaging for
those cases as a follow-up for all callers.

Add tests for the output that's emitted when we disambiguate
<obj>:<path> in cat-file. This gives us a baseline for improving these
messages.
For e.g. "git blame" we'll emit:
$ git blame HEAD:foo
fatal: no such path 'HEAD:foo' in HEAD
But cat-file doesn't disambiguate these two cases, and just gives the
rather unhelpful:
$ git cat-file --textconv HEAD:foo
fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD:foo

Make "git grep" and "git show" pay attention to --textconv when
dealing with blob objects.
* mg/more-textconv:
grep: honor --textconv for the case rev:path
grep: allow to use textconv filters
t7008: demonstrate behavior of grep with textconv
cat-file: do not die on --textconv without textconv filters
show: honor --textconv for blobs
diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
t4030: demonstrate behavior of show with textconv
There are many instances where the treatment of symbolic links in the
object model and the algorithms are tested, but where it is not
necessary to actually have a symbolic link in the worktree. Make
adjustments to the tests and remove the SYMLINKS prerequisite when
appropriate in trivial cases, where "trivial" means:
- merely a replacement of 'ln -s a b && git add b' by test_ln_s_add
is needed;
- a test for symbolic link on the file system can be split off (and
remains protected by SYMLINKS);
- existing code is equivalent to test_ln_s_add.

When a command is supposed to use textconv filters (by default or with
"--textconv") and none are configured then the blob is output without
conversion; the only exception to this rule is "cat-file --textconv".
Make it behave like the rest of textconv aware commands.

We need to get the correct mode when blame reads the source from the
working tree, the index, or trees. This allows us to omit running
textconv filters on symbolic links.

git blame --textconv is wrongly calling the textconv filter on
symlinks: symlinks are stored as blobs whose content is the target of
the link, and blame calls the textconv filter on a temporary file
filled-in with the content of this blob.
For example:
$ git blame -C -C regular-file.pdf
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #1
fatal: unable to read files to diff
That errors come from pdftotext run on symlink.pdf being extracted to
/tmp/ with one-line plain-text content pointing to link destination.
So several failures are demonstrated here:
- git cat-file --textconv :symlink.bin # also HEAD:symlink.bin
- git blame --textconv symlink.bin
- git blame -C -C --textconv regular-file # but also looks on symlink.bin
At present they all fail with something like.
E: /tmp/j3ELEs_symlink.bin is not "binary" file
NOTE: git diff doesn't try to textconv the pathnames, it runs the
textual diff without textconv, which is the expected behavior.

The textconv filter is sometimes incorrectly ran on a temporary file
whose content is the target of a symbolic link, instead of actual file
content. Prepare to test this by marking the content of the file to
convert with "bin:", and let the helper die if "bin:" is not found in
the file content.
NOTE: I've changed $@ to $1 in helper becase textconv program "should
take a single argument" (see Documentation/gitattributes.txt), so
making this more explicit makes sense and also helps to avoid
problems with feeding arguments to echo.
