ls-tree: support --object-only option for "git-ls-tree"

'--object-only' is an alias for '--format=%(objectname)'. It cannot
be used together other format-altering options like '--name-only',
'--long' or '--format', they are mutually exclusive.

The "--name-only" option outputs <filepath> only. Likewise, <objectName>
is another high frequency used field, so implement '--object-only' option
will bring intuitive and clear semantics for this scenario. Using
'--format=%(objectname)' we can achieve a similar effect, but the former
is with a lower learning cost(without knowing the format requirement
of '--format' option).

Even so, if a user is prefer to use "--format=%(objectname)", this is entirely
welcome because they are not only equivalent in function, but also have almost
identical performance. The reason is this commit also add the specific of
"--format=%(objectname)" to the current fast-pathes (builtin formats) to
avoid running unnecessary parsing mechanisms.

The following performance benchmarks are based on torvalds/linux.git:

  When hit the fast-path:

      Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --object-only HEAD
        Time (mean ± σ):      83.6 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 59.4 ms, System: 24.1 ms]
        Range (min … max):    80.4 ms …  87.2 ms    35 runs

      Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(objectname)' HEAD
        Time (mean ± σ):      84.1 ms ±   1.8 ms    [User: 61.7 ms, System: 22.3 ms]
        Range (min … max):    80.9 ms …  87.5 ms    35 runs

  But for a customized format, it will be slower:

       Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='oid: %(objectname)' HEAD
         Time (mean ± σ):      96.5 ms ±   2.5 ms    [User: 72.9 ms, System: 23.5 ms]
  	 Range (min … max):    93.1 ms … 104.1 ms    31 runs

 --name-only::

 	List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.

+--object-only::
+	List only names of the objects, one per line. Cannot be combined

+	This is equivalent to specifying `--format='%(objectname)'`, but

 --abbrev[=<n>]::
 	Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
