cat: don't prefetch files unless the output requires it

It's a waste to cache lfs blobs when cat'ing the raw data at best, but a hassle
debugging when the blob is missing.  I'm not sure if there are other commands
that have '{data}' for output, and if there's a general way to prefetch on that
keyword.

It's interesting that the verbose output seems to leak into the JSON output, but
that seems like an existing bug.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function

import errno
import os
import sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print(f, '->', os.readlink(f))
    except OSError as err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print(f, '->', f, 'not a symlink')

sys.exit(0)
