This option works in a similar way to the '--batch' option of 'git cat-file'.
It enables creation of many tree objects with a single process.
The change was motivated by performance considerations in applications that
need to create many tree objects. A non-rigorous test showed tree creation
times improved from (roughly) 200ms to 50ms.

Update usage message in builtin-mktree.c to include '--missing'. Do the
same to man page and clarify that the input does not have to be sorted.

We need to allow input lines that point at objects that we do not
have when dealing with submodule entries anyway. This adds an explicit
option to allow missing objects of other types, to be consistent with
the use of --info-only option to the update-index command and --missing-ok
option to the write-tree command.

It is perfectly normal if a tree entry points at a missing commit as long
as the mode of the entry says it is a submodule.

The main() function used to do the whole thing; this moves the handling of
a single input line to a separate function to make it easier to read.
