sha1_loose_object_info: return error for corrupted objects
When sha1_loose_object_info() finds that a loose object file cannot be stat(2)ed or mmap(2)ed, it returns -1 to signal an error to the caller. However, if it found that the loose object file is corrupt and the object data cannot be used from it, it stuffs OBJ_BAD into "type" field of the object_info, but returns zero (i.e., success), which can confuse callers. This is due to 052fe5ea (sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional, 2013-07-12), which switched the return to a strict success/error, rather than returning the type (but botched the return). Callers of regular sha1_object_info() don't notice the difference, as that function returns the type (which is OBJ_BAD in this case). However, direct callers of sha1_object_info_extended() see the function return success, but without setting any meaningful values in the object_info struct, leading them to access potentially uninitialized memory. The easiest way to see the bug is via "cat-file -s", which will happily ignore the corruption and report whatever value happened to be in the "size" variable.
