Hmph, so this patch does not teach us to interpolate any new %(field-type)
but changes the way %(objecttype) and %(objectsize) are computed.

Because this addition is made to the early "Fill in specials first"
loop of the populate_value() function, we may be able to satisfy
some requests early without calling get_object() which then calls
parse_object().

Style: fold the line after " &&".
And this checks the .use_data field to see if these fields whose
value could be computed by a call to oid_object_info_extended()
without calling parse_object(). If there is one, we call it;
otherwise we don't.
So there are three possible cases:
- The request does not ask for these fields that can be filled from
"format_data" (by the way, that is a horrible name---all the data
in this codepath is for formatting, and in that sense the
variable is not named after its most significant trait, which is
that it is to grab data needed for formatting via a call to
a function in the object_info() family. Perhaps object_info_data
or oi_data for brevity). We do not call object_info() and the
performance characteristic of the code stays as before.
- The request asks for these fields that are helped by
"object-info" and no other fields. We make a call to
"object-info", instead of parse_object(), which hopefully is more
efficient (we need to measure, if we are selling this as an
optimization).
- The request asks for both. We end up calling object-info and
also parse_object(), so presumably there is degradation of
performance.
In the third case, after v->s and v->value are filled by the new
code that copies from format_data, grab_values() will again fill
objecttype/objectsize by overwriting v->s field. Doesn't this cause
memory leaks? type_name() returns a constant string that does not
leak, but your objectsize seems to use xstrfmt(), so...
I think it was OK before this patch as grab_common_values() was the
only place that did v->s = xstrfmt() for the field, but now the code
with this patch can do the same assignment from two places, we would
need to be a bit more careful about memory ownership?
