Since 7c5c9b9c57 (commit-graph: error out on invalid commit oids in
'write --stdin-commits', 2019-08-05), the commit-graph builtin dies on
receiving non-commit OIDs as input to '--stdin-commits'.

This behavior can be cumbersome to work around in, say, the case of
piping 'git for-each-ref' to 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' if
the caller does not want to cull out non-commits themselves. In this
situation, it would be ideal if 'git commit-graph write' wrote the graph
containing the inputs that did pertain to commits, and silently ignored
the remainder of the input.

Some options have been proposed to the effect of '--[no-]check-oids'
which would allow callers to have the commit-graph builtin do just that.
After some discussion, it is difficult to imagine a caller who wouldn't
want to pass '--no-check-oids', suggesting that we should get rid of the
behavior of complaining about non-commit inputs altogether.

If callers do wish to retain this behavior, they can easily work around
this change by doing the following:

    git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(objecttype) %(*objecttype)' |
    awk '/commit/ { print $1 }' |
    git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
I appreciate that you included the workaround here for posterity. That
allows anyone complaining to bisect to these instructions.

To make it so that valid OIDs that refer to non-existent objects are
indeed an error after loosening the error handling, perform an extra
lookup to make sure that object indeed exists before sending it to the
commit-graph internals.

If we get a non-existent object, then this will cause us to fail
the command, right?
