[PATCH 16/19] transport-helper: change import semantics

Currently the helper must somehow guess how many import statements to read before it starts outputting its fast-export stream. This is because the remote helper infrastructure runs fast-import only once, so the helper is forced to output one stream for all import commands it will receive. The only reason this worked in the past was because only one ref was imported at a time.

Change the semantics of the import statement such that it matches that of the list statement. That is, 'import\n' is followed by a list of refs that should be exported, followed by '\n'.
