Most users of the tree walking API don't care what the specific mode
of an object in a tree is (e.g. if it's executable), they care if it's
one of OBJ_{TREE,BLOB,COMMIT}.
Let's add an "object_type" enum to the "name_entry" struct to help
such callers.
Ideally we'd have some subset of "enum object_type" here with just
those three entries, so we could rely on the C compiler to
exhaustively check our "switch" statements, but I don't know how to
create such a enum subset without re-labeling OBJ_{TREE,BLOB,COMMIT}
to e.g. "NE_OBJ_*" (an enum is just an int under the hood, so you can
use such a struct with "OBJ_*", but the compiler will complain...).
