p1400: use git-update-ref --stdin to test multiple transactions

In commit 0a0fbbe (refs: remove lookup cache for
reference-transaction hook, 2020-08-25), a new benchmark was added to
p1400 which has the intention to exercise creation of multiple
transactions in a single process. As git-update-ref wasn't yet able to
create multiple transactions with a single run we instead used git-push.
As its non-atomic version creates a transaction per reference update,
this was the best approximation we could make at that point in time.

Now that `git-update-ref --stdin` supports creation of multiple
transactions, let's convert the benchmark to use that instead. It has
less overhead and it's also a lot clearer what the actual intention is.
