Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.
So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.
For example:
$ git cat-file -p N
would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.
With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:
$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N
While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

When using something like:
$ git push $there 04a8c^2:master
we need to parse 04a8c to find its second parent and then start
discussing what object to send with the other end. "04a8c^2" is a direct
user input and should mean the same commit as git show "04a8c^2" would
give the user, so it obviously needs to obey the replace rules (making
04a8c parsed), but the object transfer should not look at replace at all.
This patch adds some tests to check that the above is working well.

Teach the syntax: "git replace <object> <replacement>", so that
"git replace" can now create replace refs. These replace refs
will be used by read_sha1_file to substitute <object> with
<replacement> for most of the commands.

This command can only be used now to list replace refs in
"refs/replace/" and to delete them.
The option to list replace refs is "-l".
The option to delete replace refs is "-d".
The behavior should be consistent with how "git tag" and "git branch"
are working.
The code has been copied from "builtin-tag.c" by Kristian Høgsberg
<krh@redhat.com> and Carlos Rica <jasampler@gmail.com> that was itself
based on git-tag.sh and mktag.c by Linus Torvalds.

This new "read_replace_refs" global variable is set to 1 by
default, so that replace refs are used by default. But
reachability traversal and packing commands ("cmd_fsck",
"cmd_prune", "cmd_pack_objects", "upload_pack",
"cmd_unpack_objects") set it to 0, as they must work with the
original DAG.

Otherwise we get a "sha1 mismatch" error for replaced objects.
Note that I am not sure at all that this is a good change.
It may be that we should just refuse to tag a replaced object. But
in this case we should probably give a meaningfull error message
instead of "sha1 mismatch".

In this patch the setup code is very big, but this will be used in
test cases that will be added later.
