The disambiguation logic had all the pieces necessary to only print
out those blobs that were ambiguous, but they hadn't been connected.

The initial logic was added in daba53aeaf ("sha1_name.c: add support
for disambiguating other types", 2012-07-02), and when the flags were
propagated in 8a10fea49b ("get_sha1: propagate flags to child
functions", 2016-09-26) GET_OID_BLOB wasn't added to lookup_flags.

Before this change requests for blobs were simply ignored:

    $ git rev-parse e8f2^{blob}
    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
    hint:   e8f21d02f7 blob
    hint:   e8f21d577c blob
    hint:   e8f2867228 blob
    hint:   e8f2a35526 blob
    e8f2^{blob}
    [...]

But now we'll do the right thing and only print the blobs:

    $ git rev-parse e8f2^{blob}
    error: short SHA1 e8f2 is ambiguous
    hint: The candidates are:
    hint:   e8f21d02f7 blob
    hint:   e8f21d577c blob
    hint:   e8f2867228 blob
    hint:   e8f2a35526 blob
    e8f2^{blob}
    [...]
