MyFirstObjectWalk: update recommended usage

The previous change consolidated traverse_commit_list() and
traverse_commit_list_filtered(). This allows us to simplify the
recommended usage in MyFirstObjectWalk.txt to use this new set of
values.

While here, add some clarification on the difference between the two
methods.

`traverse_commit_list()` or `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`. Those two
functions reside in `list-objects.c`; examining the source shows that, despite
the name, these functions traverse all kinds of objects. Let's have a look at
the arguments to `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`, which are a superset of the
arguments to the unfiltered version.
the arguments to `traverse_commit_list()`.
- `struct list_objects_filter_options *filter_options`: This is a struct which
stores a filter-spec as outlined in `Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`.
- `struct rev_info *revs`: This is the `rev_info` used for the walk.
- `struct rev_info *revs`: This is the `rev_info` used for the walk. If
its `filter` member is not `NULL`, then `filter` contains information for
how to filter the object list.
- `show_commit_fn show_commit`: A callback which will be used to handle each
individual commit object.
- `show_object_fn show_object`: A callback which will be used to handle each
non-commit object (so each blob, tree, or tag).
- `void *show_data`: A context buffer which is passed in turn to `show_commit`
and `show_object`.
In addition, `traverse_commit_list_filtered()` has an additional paramter:
- `struct oidset *omitted`: A linked-list of object IDs which the provided
filter caused to be omitted.
It looks like this `traverse_commit_list_filtered()` uses callbacks we provide
instead of needing us to call it repeatedly ourselves. Cool! Let's add the
callbacks first.

`struct list_objects_filter_options` is usually built directly from a command
The `rev->filter` member is usually built directly from a command
line argument, so the module provides an easy way to build one from a string.
Even though we aren't taking user input right now, we can still build one with
a hardcoded string using `parse_list_objects_filter()`.
