[PATCH 2/2] git-am: support StGit patch series

Stacked Git exports patch series with an 'index', a file containing the list of the exported patches by filename. The file can be detected by the '# This series applies on GIT commit somehash' header, and in such a case git-am can replace its argument list with the list of files taken from the index, proceeding then to import the whole series.
