enable index-pack streaming capability
A new flag, --stdin, allows for a pack to be received over a stream.
When this flag is provided, the pack content is written to either
the named pack file or directly to the object repository under the
same name as produced by git-repack. The pack index is written as
well with the corresponding base name, unless the index name is
overriden with -o.
With this patch, git-index-pack could be used instead of
git-unpack-objects when fetching remote objects but only with
non "thin" packs for now.
