format-rev: introduce builtin for on-demand pretty formatting

Introduce a new builtin for pretty formatting one revision expression
per line or commit object names found in running text.

Sometimes you want to format commits. Most of the time you’re
walking the graph, e.g. getting a range of commits like
`master..topic`. That’s a job for git-log(1).

But there are times when you want to format commits that you encounter
on demand:

• Full hashes in running text that you might want to pretty-print
• git-last-modified(1) outputs full hashes that you can do the same
  with
• git-cherry(1) has `-v` for commit subject, but maybe you want
  something else?

But now you can’t use git-log(1), git-show(1), or git-rev-list(1):

• You can’t feed commits piecemeal to these commands, one input
  for one output; they block until standard in is closed
• You can’t feed a list of possibly duplicate commits, like the output
  of git-last-modified(1); they effectively deduplicate the output

Beyond these two points there’s also the input massage problem: you
cannot feed mixed input (revisions mixed with arbitrary text).

One might hope that git-cat-file(1) can save us. But it doesn’t
support pretty formats.

But there is one command that already both handles revisions as
arguments, revisions on standard input, and even revisions mixed in
with arbitrary text. Namely git-name-rev(1): the command for outputting
symbolic names for commits.

We made some room in `builtin/name-rev.c` two commits ago. Let’s
now add this new git-format-rev(1) command. Taking inspiration from
git-name-rev(1), there are two modes:

• revs: like git-name-rev(1) in argv mode, but one revision per line
  on standard in
• text: like git-name-rev(1) with `--annotate-stdin`

***

We need to add this command to the exception list in
`t/t1517-outside-repo.sh` because it uses “EXPERIMENTAL!”
in the usage line.
