I want to add new command line options to cat-file, but
to do that we need to change how we handle argv[] first.
This is a simple cleanup that assigns names to the two
arguments we currently care about.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.
This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the
system.

I noticed that I was looking at the kernel gitweb output at some point
rather than just do "git log", simply because I liked seeing the
simplified date-format, ie the "5 days ago" rather than a full date.
This adds infrastructure to do that for "git log" too. It does NOT add the
actual flag to enable it, though, so right now this patch is a no-op, but
it should now be easy to add a command line flag (and possibly a config
file option) to just turn on the "relative" date format.
The exact cut-off points when it switches from days to weeks etc are
totally arbitrary, but are picked somewhat to avoid the "1 weeks ago"
thing (by making it show "10 days ago" rather than "1 week", or "70
minutes ago" rather than "1 hour ago").
[jc: with minor fix and tweak around "month" and "week" area.]

The little helper write_or_die() won't come back with bad news about
full disks or broken pipes. It either succeeds or terminates the
program, making additional error handling unnecessary.
This patch adds the new function and uses it to replace two similar
ones (the one in tar-tree originally has been copied from cat-file
btw.). I chose to add the fd parameter which both lacked to make
write_or_die() just as flexible as write() and thus suitable for
lib-ification.
There is a regression: error messages emitted by this function don't
show the program name, while the replaced two functions did. That's
acceptable, I think; a lot of other functions do the same.

This changes the calling convention of built-in commands and
passes the "prefix" (i.e. pathname of $PWD relative to the
project root level) down to them.
