Update the docs for cat-file command. Some new formatting atoms added
because of reusing ref-filter code.
We do not support cat-file atoms in general formatting logic
(there is just the support for cat-file), that is why some of the atoms
are still explained in cat-file docs.
We need to move these explanations when atoms will be supported
by other commands.

You can specify the information shown for each object by using a custom
`<format>`. The `<format>` is copied literally to stdout for each
object, with placeholders of the form `%(atom)` expanded, followed by a
-newline. The available atoms are:
-
-`objectname`::
- The 40-hex object name of the object.
-
-`objecttype`::
- The type of the object (the same as `cat-file -t` reports).
-
-`objectsize`::
- The size, in bytes, of the object (the same as `cat-file -s`
- reports).

`objectsize:disk`::
The size, in bytes, that the object takes up on disk. See the
