If fast-export is being used to generate a fast-import stream that

stream with the new 'done' command.

Add a flag that causes fast-export to end with 'done'.
I was assuming that whatever passed the output from fast-export to 
fast-import would add the "done" itself when its fast-export child 
exitted. Obviously, if there's going to be anything after the gfi stream, 
something's going to have to write the next thing, and whatever that is 
can write the "done". Of course, the caller can't add the feature, so if 
the feature is necessary (and I don't remember all the possible 
interactions to say), this would be necessary.
