Add cat-file example and increase const use in API · 58206c9a
This adds an example implementation that emulates git cat-file. It is a convenient and relatively simple example of getting data out of a repository. Implementing this also revealed that there are a number of APIs that are still not using const pointers to objects that really ought to be. The main cause of this is that `git_vector_bsearch` may need to call `git_vector_sort` before doing the search, so a const pointer to the vector is not allowed. However, for tree objects, with a little care, we can ensure that the vector of tree entries is always sorted and allow lookups to take a const pointer. Also, the missing const in commit objects just looks like an oversight.
