upload-pack: send shallow info over stdin to pack-objectsnd/upload-pack-shallow

Before cdab485 (upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to
pack-objects - 2013-08-16) upload-pack does not write to the source
repository. cdab485 starts to write $GIT_DIR/shallow_XXXXXX if it's a
shallow fetch, so the source repo must be writable.

git:// servers do not need write access to repos and usually don't
have it, which means cdab485 breaks shallow clone over git://

Instead of using a temporary file as the media for shallow points, we
can send them over stdin to pack-objects as well. Prepend shallow
SHA-1 with --shallow so pack-objects knows what is what.
