t6050: show that git cat-file --batch fails with replace objects

When --batch is passed to git cat-file, the sha1_object_info_extended()
function is used to get information about the objects passed to
git cat-file.

Unfortunately sha1_object_info_extended() doesn't take care of
object replacement properly, so it will often fail with a
message like this:

$ echo a3fb2e1845a1aaf129b7975048973414dc172173 | git cat-file --batch
a3fb2e1845a1aaf129b7975048973414dc172173 commit 231
fatal: object a3fb2e1845a1aaf129b7975048973414dc172173 change size!?

The goal of this patch is to show this breakage.
