[PATCH 2/3] Teach fast-import to print the id of each imported commit

For the svn importer, it would be useful to build a map from subversion revision numbers to git commits as the import takes place. This is particularly relevant because the subversion api sometimes represents as "copy this directory from this revision", and the importer needs to be able to access the corresponding trees. So (optionally) print each commit id when the corresponding object is written.

Unfortunately when each commit object is written, it is not yet accessible to the caller until a checkpoint has finished. A later patch will teach fast-import to directly pass on the relevant data on request, using the same channel.

I am not happy with the interface:
. the name --report-fd is a bit silly.  Maybe next round will
  have a better one.
. some frontends may want to use "cat" without the commit id noise
. it is easy to trigger SIGPIPE by ignoring the last couple of
  commit ids
. communication needs to be serialized.  What will happen if a commit
  gets finished while a "cat" command is being fulfilled?
