transport-helper: introduce stateless-connect
Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'. This
capability indicates that the transport-helper can be requested to run
the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a
stateless connection with a remote end. Once established, the
connection can be used by the git client to communicate with
the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by
protocol v2. This means that the client must send everything the server
needs in a single request as the client must not assume any
state-storing on the part of the server or transport.
If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper
will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that
the client should fallback to using the dumb remote-helper commands.
A future patch will implement the 'stateless-connect' capability in our
http remote-helper (remote-curl) so that protocol v2 can be used using
the http transport.
