This was badly named, it's a not a blob necessarily, but anything that a
tree can refer to.
Also removed the Show instance which was used for serialization to git
format, instead use fmtTreeItemType.

The use of runWriter in scanUnlockedFiles broke due to this change;
it failed with blocked indefinitely in mvar, because the database write
handle was taken while linkFromAnnex needed to also write to it (to update
the inode cache). So, switched to using a separate runWriter for each call
to addAssociatedFileFast. A little less efficient, but not greatly; the
writes should all still be cached.
WorkTree.lookupFile was finding a key for a file that's deleted from the
work tree, which is different than the v5 behavior (though perhaps the same
as the direct mode behavior). Fix by checking that the work tree file exists
before catting its key.
Hopefully this won't slow down much, probably the catKey is much more expensive.
I can't see any way to optimise this, except perhaps to make Command.Unused
check if work tree files exist before/after calling lookupFile. But,
it seems better to make lookupFile really only find keys for worktree files;
that's what it's intended to do.
In v5, lookupFile is supposed to only look at symlinks on disk (except when
in direct mode).
Note that v6 also has a bug when a locked file's symlink is deleted and is
replaced with a new file. It sees that a link is staged and gets that
key.
