Do not unconditionally read standard input

Browse Source 
mmdebstrap used to attempt reading stdin if it was not a tty. This leads
to unexpected behaviour when mmdebstrap is used through ssh without a
pseudo-terminal allocated like so:

    $ ssh remote mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror

This will stall forever, waiting for data on standard input. Or
consider:

    $ ssh remote << END
    > somecommand
    > mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror
    > othercommand
    END

This will make mmdebstrap read "othercommand" and everything that
follows as a sources.list entry. To prevent this unexpected behaviour,
the following ways to use mmdebstrap will not be supported anymore:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir < sources.list
    $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror < sources.list

Instead, one must now explicitly pass "-" if one wants mmdebstrap to
read from stdin:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir - < sources.list
    $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror - < sources.list

If no I<MIRROR> option is provided, L<http://deb.debian.org/debian> is used,
except if data was given on standard input in which case the lines read from
there are used as the content of the chroot's sources.list file. If I<SUITE>
is a stable release name and no I<MIRROR> is specified, then mirrors for
updates and security are automatically added. If a I<MIRROR> option starts
with "deb " or "deb-src " then it is used as a one-line-style format entry for
apt's sources.list inside the chroot. If a I<MIRROR> option contains a "://"
then it is interpreted as a mirror URI and the apt line inside the chroot is
assembled as "deb [arch=A] B C D" where A is the host's native architecture, B
is the I<MIRROR>, C is the given I<SUITE> and D is the components given via
B<--components> (defaults to "main"). If a I<MIRROR> option happens to be an
existing file, then its contents are pasted into the chroot's sources.list.
This can be used to supply a deb822 style sources.list. If I<MIRROR> is C<->
then standard input is pasted into the chroot's sources.list. If there was
data on standard input but no C<-> mirror was listed, the lines read from
standard input will be appended to the end of the chroot's sources.list. More
than one mirror can be specified and are appended to the chroot's sources.list
in the given order. If any mirror contains a https URI, then the packages
apt-transport-https and ca-certificates will be installed inside the chroot.
If any mirror contains a tor+xxx URI, then the apt-transport-tor package will
be installed inside the chroot.
