Add new @ shortcut for HEAD

So HEAD@{0}~0^0 is too much to type, but we can remove '^0', and we can
remove '~0', and we can remove 'HEAD', but we can't remove '{0}'?

This patch allows 'HEAD@' to be the same as 'HEAD@{0}', and similarly with
'master@'.

So we can type '@' instead of 'HEAD@', or rather 'HEAD'. So now we can
use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

t0008: use named pipe (FIFO) to test check-ignore streaming

sleeps in the check-ignore test suite are not ideal since they can
fail when the system is under load, or when a tool like valgrind is
used which drastically alters the timing.  Therefore we replace them
with a more robust solution using a named pipe (FIFO).

Thanks to Jeff King for coming up with the redirection wizardry
required to make this work.

Merge branch 'as/check-ignore' into pu

Enhance "check-ignore" (1.8.2 update) to work more like "check-attr"
over bidi-pipes.

The test in the second from the tip needs to be updated.
