Teach git-commit-graph to read commits from stdin when the
--stdin-commits flag is specified. Commits reachable from these
commits are added to the graph. This is a much faster way to construct
the graph than inspecting all packed objects, but is restricted to
known tips.

For the Linux repository, 700,000+ commits were added to the graph
file starting from 'master' in 7-9 seconds, depending on the number
of packfiles in the repo (1, 24, or 120).
