hash-object: cleanup handling of command line options

git hash-object used to process the --stdin command line argument
before reading subsequent arguments.  This caused 'git hash-object
--stdin -w' to fail to actually write the object into the
database, while '-w --stdin' properly did.  Now git hash-object
first reads all arguments, and then processes them.

This regresses one insane use case.  git hash-object used to allow
multiple --stdin arguments on the command line:

   $ git hash-object --stdin --stdin
     foo
     ^D
     bar
     ^D

Now git hash-object errors out if --stdin is given more than once.
