object-file API: pass an enum to read_object_with_reference()
Change the read_object_with_reference() function to take an "enum
object_type". It was not prepared to handle an arbitrary "const
char *type", as it was itself calling type_from_string().
Let's change the only caller that passes in user data to use
type_from_string(), and convert the rest to use e.g. "OBJ_TREE"
instead of "tree_type".
The "cat-file" caller is not on the codepath that
handles"--allow-unknown", so the type_from_string() there is safe. Its
use of type_from_string() doesn't functionally differ from that of the
pre-image.
