Improve the errors emitted when an invalid <object> and/or <path> is
provided with either the --path option, or as an argument. We now use
the same logic in get_oid_with_context_1() that "git show" et al use.
To replace the "cat-file" use-case we need to introduce a new
"GET_OID_REQUIRE_PATH" flag, otherwise it would exit early as soon as
a valid "HEAD" was resolved, but in the "cat-file" case being changed
we always need a valid revision and path.
