Hi Joel,

Add a bulitin helper for performing stash commands. Converting
all at once proved hard to review, so starting with just apply
let conversion get started without the other command being
finished.

The helper is being implemented as a drop in replacement for
stash so that when it is complete it can simply be renamed and
the shell script deleted.

Delete the contents of the apply_stash shell function and replace
it with a call to stash--helper apply until pop is also
converted.

Very good!

In the interest of as incremental a change as possible, I would wager a
bet that this is the best way we can go about it, later replacing the
parts that still spawn Git processes (such as get_symbolic_name and
have_stash) with direct calls into libgit.a, one by one.

Thank you!
