Reimplement emailing part of hooks--update in contrib/hooks/post-receive-email

The update hook is no longer the correct place to generate emails; there
is now the hooks/post-receive script which is run automatically after a
ref has been updated.

This patch is to make use of that new location, and to address some
faults in the old update hook.

The primary problem in the conversion was that in the update hook, the
ref has not actually been changed, but is about to be.  In the
post-receive hook the ref has already been updated.  That meant that
where we previously had lines like:

 git rev-list --not --all

would now give the wrong list because "--all" in the post-receive hook
includes the ref that we are making the email for.  This made it more
difficult to show only the new revisions added by this update.

The solution is not pretty; however it does work and doesn't need any
changes to git-rev-list itself.  It also fixes (more accurately: reduces
the likelihood of) a nasty race when another update occurs while this
script is running.  The solution, in short, looks like this (see the
source code for a longer explanation)

 git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
 git rev-list --pretty --stdin $oldrev..$newrev

This uses git-rev-parse followed by grep to filter out the revision of
the ref in question before it gets to rev-list and inhibits the output
of itself.  By using $(git rev-parse $revname) rather than $newrev as the
filter, it also takes care of the situation where another update to the
same ref has been made since $refname was $newrev.

The second problem that is addressed is that of tags inhibiting the
correct output of an update email.  Consider this, with somebranch and
sometag pointing at the same revision:

 git push origin somebranch
 git push origin sometag

That would work fine; the push of the branch would generate an email
containing all the new commits introduced by the update, then the push
of the tag would generate the shortlog formatted tag email.  Now
consider:

 git push origin sometag
 git push origin somebranch

When some branch comes to run its "--not --all" line, it will find
sometag, and filter those commits from the email - leaving nothing.
That meant that those commits would not show (in full) on any email.
The fix is to not use "--all", and instead use "--branches" in the
git-rev-parse command.
