separate handles for cat-file and cat-file --batch-check
This avoids starting one process when only the other one is needed.
Eg in git-annex smudge --clean, this reduces the total number of
cat-file processes that are started from 4 to 2.

The only performance penalty is that when both are needed, it has to do
twice as much work to maintain the two Maps. But both are very small,
consisting of 1 or 2 items, so that work is negligible.

cat-file resource pool
Avoid running a large number of git cat-file child processes when run with
a large -J value.

This implementation takes care to avoid adding any overhead to git-annex
when run without -J. When run with -J, there is a small bit of added
overhead, to manipulate the resource pool. That optimisation added a
fair bit of complexity.
