cat-file: unify default format

%(objecttype) is supported both by the client and by the server.
Change the temporary default format to the unified version that the
other commands use.

Update documentation to remove %(objecttype) from the caveats of
remote-object-info and show %(objecttype) support.

Now that type is supported and the default format unified, update the
tests to expect the new default format.

Requests size information to be returned for each listed object id.
type
