[PATCH 4/3] show: --ignore-missing

Instead of barfing, simply ignore bad object names seen in the input. This is useful when reading from "git notes list" output that may refer to objects that have already been garbage collected.

 * This would let me do something like
	git notes list |
        sed -e 's/. *//' | # strip note-blob
	git show --format='%ci %H ...' --ignore-missing --stdin |
        ... perhaps sort by commit date, filter, etc... |
        git notes remove --stdin --ignore-missing
   Perhaps "git notes list --target-only" can be added to remove the
   need for the second "sed" in the pipeline.
