fast-import: introduce 'done' command

Add a 'done' command that causes fast-import to stop reading from the
stream and exit.

If the new --done command line flag was passed on the command line
(or a "feature done" declaration included at the start of the stream),
make the 'done' command mandatory.  So "git fast-import --done"'s
input format will be prefix-free, making errors easier to detect when
they show up as early termination at some convenient time of the
upstream of a pipe writing to fast-import.

Another possible application of the 'done' command would to be allow a
fast-import stream that is only a small part of a larger encapsulating
stream to be easily parsed, leaving the file offset after the "done\n"
so the other application can pick up from there.  This patch does not
teach fast-import to do that --- fast-import still uses buffered input
(stdio).
