t1006: split test utility functions into new 'lib-cat-file.sh'

This refactor extracts utility functions from the cat-file's test
script 't1006-cat-file.sh' into a new 'lib-cat-file.sh' dedicated
library file.

A subsequent commit will need this functions, the goal is to improve
code reuse and readability,enabling future tests to leverage these
utilities without duplicating code.
