Add a --stdin signature to read update instructions from standard input
and apply multiple ref updates together. Use an input format that
supports any update that could be specified via the command-line,
including object names like "branch:path with space".

With `-d` flag, it deletes the named after verifying it
still contains .
+With `--stdin`, update-ref reads instructions from standard input and
+performs all modifications together. Empty lines are ignored.
+Each non-empty line is parsed as whitespace-separated arguments.
+Quote arguments containing whitespace as if in C source code.
+Specify updates with lines of the form:
+
+ [--no-deref] [--] []
+
+Lines of any other format or a repeated produce an error.
+Specify a zero to delete a ref and/or a zero
+to make sure that a ref not exist. Use either 40 "0" or the
+empty string (written as "") to specify a zero value.
+
+If all s can be locked with matching s
+simultaneously, all modifications are performed. Otherwise, no
+modifications are performed. Note that while each individual
+ is updated or deleted atomically, a concurrent reader may
+still see a subset of the modifications.
