filter-branch: Big syntax change; support rewriting multiple refs

We used to take the first non-option argument as the name for the new
branch.  This syntax is not extensible to support rewriting more than just
HEAD.

Instead, we now have the following syntax:

	git filter-branch [<filter options>...] [<rev-list options>]

All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten.  Yes,
in-place.  If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in
refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the
reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than
to inspect all the reflogs).

This commit also adds the --force option to remove .git-rewrite/ and all
refs from refs/original/ before filtering.

The command takes the new branch name as a mandatory argument and
the filters as optional arguments. If you specify no filters, the
commits will be recommitted without any changes, which would normally
have no effect and result in the new branch pointing to the same
branch as your current branch. Nevertheless, this may be useful in
the future for compensating for some git bugs or such, therefore
