tree-walk: learn get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks

Add a new function, get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks, to tree-walk.[ch].
The function is not yet used.  It will be used to implement git
cat-file --batch --follow-symlinks.

The function locates an object by path, following symlinks in the
repository.  If the symlinks lead outside the repository, the function
reports this to the caller.
