[PATCH 7/9] get_short_oid / peel_onion: ^{tree} should mean tree, not treeish

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

After the recent series of patches ^{tag} and ^{blob} now work to get
just the tags and blobs, but ^{tree} will still list any
tree-ish (commits, tags and trees).

The previous behavior was added in ed1ca6025f ("peel_onion:
disambiguate to favor tree-ish when we know we want a tree-ish",
2013-03-31). I may have missed some special-case but this makes more
sense to me.

Now "$sha1:" can be used as before to mean treeish

    $ git rev-parse e8f2:
    error: short SHA1 e8f2 is ambiguous
    hint: The candidates are:
    hint:   e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0
    hint:   e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached 
HEAD abbreviated object name
    hint:   e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from 
jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src
    hint:   e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for 
multiple remote.url entries
    hint:   e8f2093055 tree
    hint:   e8f25a3a50 tree
    hint:   e8f28d537c tree
    hint:   e8f2cf6ec0 tree
    [...]

But ^{tree} shows just the trees, but would previously be equivalent
to the above:

    $ git rev-parse e8f2^{tree}
    error: short SHA1 e8f2 is ambiguous
    hint: The candidates are:
    hint:   e8f2093055 tree
    hint:   e8f25a3a50 tree
    hint:   e8f28d537c tree
    hint:   e8f2cf6ec0 tree
    [...]
