Introduce a --annotate-stdin that is functionally equivalent of --stdin.
--stdin does not behave as --stdin in other subcommands, such as
pack-objects whereby it takes one argument per line. Since --stdin can be a
confusing and misleading name, the goal is to rename it to --annotate-stdin.

This is the first step in a process of eventually fully deprecating --stdin.
This change also adds a warning to --stdin warning that it will be removed
in the future.

See https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqsfuh1pxz.fsf@gitster.g/ for discussion.

changes since v5:

 * fixed documentation example indentation (again)
 * moved initialization of strbuf from 1/2 to 2/2

changes since v4:

 * fixed documentation example indentation

changes since v3:

 * use strbuf_getline instead of strbuf_getwholeline (based on Junio's
   feedback)
 * fixed commit message s/annotate-text/annotate-stdin (based on Junio's
   feedback)
 * since strbuf_getline does not keep the trailing terminator, add back '\n'
   with strbuf_addchr
 * reordered documentation blocks based on (Philip Oakley's feedback)
 * fixed doc typos in example block

This round looks almost perfect.

One I can think of that _may_ be a good idea to change from this
version is to undo the HIDDEN thing, so that "git name-rev -h",
without "git name-rev --help-all", will prominently say that
"--stdin" is deprecated, and make it an hidden option sometime
later, but that is not even "I think we should do so", but more like
"if other people think it is a good idea, I would be supportive".

Thanks.
