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.

  $ hg init

  $ echo 123 > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m "first" a

  $ mkdir sub
  $ echo 321 > sub/b
  $ hg add sub/b
  $ hg commit -m "second" sub/b

  $ cat sub/b
  321

  $ hg co 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ cat sub/b 2>/dev/null || echo "sub/b not present"
  sub/b not present

  $ test -d sub || echo "sub not present"
  sub not present
