Using 'test_must_be_empty' is preferable to 'test ! -s', because it
gives a helpful error message if the given file is unexpectedly no
empty, while the latter remains completely silent. Furthermore, it
also catches cases when the given file unexpectedly does not exist at
all.

Commit dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically
allocate oc->path, 2017-05-19) changed the rules that
callers must follow for seeing if we parsed a path in the
object name. The rules switched from "check if the oc.path
buffer is empty" to "check if the oc.path pointer is NULL".
But that commit forgot to update some sites in
cat_one_file(), meaning we might dereference a NULL pointer.
You can see this by making a path-aware request like
--textconv without specifying --path, and giving an object
name that doesn't have a path in it. Like:
git cat-file --textconv HEAD
which will reliably segfault.

With this patch, --batch can be combined with --textconv or --filters.
For this to work, the input needs to have the form
<object name><single white space><path>
so that the filters can be chosen appropriately.

There are circumstances when it is relatively easy to figure out the
object name for a given path, but not the name of the containing tree.
For example, when looking at a diff generated by Git, the object names
are recorded, but not the revision. As a matter of fact, the revisions
from which the diff was generated may not even exist locally.
In such a case, the user would have to generate a fake revision just to
be able to use --textconv or --filters.
Let's simplify this dramatically, because we do not really need that
revision at all: all we care about is that we know the path. In the
scenario described above, we do know the path, and we just want to
specify it separately from the object name.
Example usage:
git cat-file --textconv --path=main.c 0f1937fd

The --filters option applies the convert_to_working_tree() filter for
the path when showing the contents of a regular file blob object;
the contents are written out as-is for other types of objects.
This feature comes in handy when a 3rd-party tool wants to work with
the contents of files from past revisions as if they had been checked
out, but without detouring via temporary files.
