Add a test of how "cat-file" behaves when given a bogus type in its "git cat-file <TYPE> <OBJECT>" mode. There were existing tests (just below this one) for "-t bogus" or "--allow-unknown-type" modes, but none for the switch-less mode. This test is similar to the one that exists for "git hash-object" already, see b7994af0f92 (type_from_string_gently: make sure length matches, 2015-04-17).
