This is a continuation of Calvin Wan's (calvinwan@xxxxxxxxxx) patch series [PATCH v5 0/6] cat-file: add --batch-command remote-object-info command at [1]. Sometimes it is useful to get information about an object without having to download it completely. The server logic for retrieving size has already been implemented and merged in "a2ba162cda (object-info: support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20)"[2]. This patch series implement the client option for it. This patch series add the `remote-object-info` command to `cat-file --batch-command`. This command allows the client to make an object-info command request to a server that supports protocol v2. If the server is v2, but does not have object-info capability, the entire object is fetched and the relevant object info is returned. A few questions open for discussions please: 1. In the current implementation, if a user puts `remote-object-info` in protocol v1, `cat-file --batch-command` will die. Which way do we prefer? "error and exit (i.e. die)" or "warn and wait for new command". 2. Right now, only the size is supported. If the batch command format contains objectsize:disk or deltabase, it will die. The question is about objecttype. In the current implementation, it will die too. But dying on objecttype breaks the default format. We have changed the default format to %(objectname) %(objectsize) when remote-object-info is used. Any suggestions on this approach?

This function now serves as the mapped function for the remote-object-info command. This change simplifies the code by avoiding command name comparisons and reusing logic that fits parse_cmd_fn_t. - Added more tests to cover fallbacks. When the server does not support the object-info capability, remote-object-info will fetch the objects locally and print out the information. - Fixed a logic issue that could lead to a potential heap-buffer-overflow error. The alloc_ref function is now used to initialize a ref struct instead of xcalloc. - Refactored some logic for improved readability, such as how to initialize the transport->remote_refs linked list. Thank you.
