Based on Junios and Erics suggestion I have made various
changes over the previous iteration of the patch[1].

Changes in this version :
* Add a object_info::typename to hold all the typenames.
* Add a wrapper around parse_sha1_header() to get type and
   size of broken/corrupt objects without throwing an error
   whenever the type is unknown.
* Also add an option for 'cat-file -s --literally'.

Thanks to Junio and Eric for their suggestions and guidance.
