catfile: Remove `Object[Content|Info]Reader`

Karthik Nayak requested to merge 5655-cleanup-the-catfile-package into master

We introduced ObjectReader as a replacement for the existing Object[Content|Info]Reader readers. Since we moved to git v2.42, we no longer use the latter. The former uses 'git-cat-file(1)'s '--batch-command' mode to read both object info and object contents.

Let's cleanup all the dead code and remove everything around it.

Closes #5655 (closed)
