Documentation: document v1 protocol object-format capability
Document a capability that indicates which hash algorithms are in use by both sides of a remote connection. Use the term "object-format", since this is the term used for the repository extension as well.

+-------------
+
+This capability, which takes a hash algorithm as an argument, indicates
+that the server supports the given hash algorithms. It may be sent
+multiple times; if so, the first one given is the one used in the ref
+advertisement.
+
+When provided by the client, this indicates that it intends to use the
+given hash algorithm to communicate. The algorithm provided must be one
+that the server supports.
+
+If this capability is not provided, it is assumed that the only
+supported algorithm is SHA-1.
