t: introduce tests for unexpected object types 

Call an object's type "unexpected" when the actual type of an object
does not match Git's contextual expectation. For example, a tree entry
whose mode differs from the object's actual type, or a commit's parent
which is not another commit, and so on.

This can manifest itself in various unfortunate ways, including Git
SIGSEGV-ing under specific conditions. Consider the following example:
Git traverses a blob (say, via `git rev-list`), and then tries to read
out a tree-entry which lists that object as something other than a blob.
In this case, `lookup_blob()` will return NULL, and the subsequent
dereference will result in a SIGSEGV.

Introduce tests that present objects of "unexpected" type in the above
fashion to 'git rev-list'. Mark as failures the combinations that are
already broken (i.e., they exhibit the segfault described above). In the
cases that are not broken (i.e., they have NULL-ness checks or similar),
mark these as expecting success.

We might hit an unexpected type in two different ways (imagine we have a
tree entry that claims to be a tree but actually points to a blob):

  - when we call lookup_tree(), we might find that we've already seen
    the object referenced as a blob, in which case we'd get NULL. We
    can exercise this with "git rev-list --objects $blob $tree", which
    guarantees that the blob will have been parsed before we look in
    the tree. These tests are marked as "seen" in the test script.

  - we call lookup_tree() successfully, but when we try to read the
    object, we find out it's something else. We construct our tests
    such that $blob is not otherwise mentioned in $tree. These tests
    are marked as "lone" in the script.

We should check that we behave sensibly in both cases (especially
because it is easy for a malicious actor to provoke one case or the
other).
