9535ce7 taught pack-objects to use filtering, but added a requirement of
the --stdout since a partial clone mechanism was not yet in place to
handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa and others
added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing.

Remove the --stdout requirement so that in the next commit, repack can
pass --filter to pack-objects to omit certain objects from the packfile.
