systemd-escape currently only processes strings passed as command line arguments. This is awkward for callers that already have a generated list of strings, because they need to loop around the tool or use xargs and carefully preserve whitespace and other special characters. Add --stdin to read one string per line from standard input and write one escaped result per output line. Keep command line strings mutually exclusive with --stdin so the input source remains unambiguous. Use an explicit option instead of treating '-' specially, since '-' is itself a valid string to escape. The existing escape, unescape, mangle, path, suffix, and template rules are reused unchanged.
