upload-pack: document and rename --advertise-refs
The --advertise-refs documentation in git-upload-pack added in 9812f2136b3 (upload-pack.c: use parse-options API, 2016-05-31) hasn't been entirely true ever since v2 support was implemented in e52449b6722 (connect: request remote refs using v2, 2018-03-15). Under v2 we don't advertise the refs at all, but rather dump the capabilities header. This option has always been an obscure internal implementation detail, it wasn't even documented for git-receive-pack. Since it has exactly one user let's rename it to --http-backend-info-refs, which is more accurate and points the reader in the right direction. Let's also cross-link this from the protocol v1 and v2 documentation. I'm retaining a hidden --advertise-refs alias in case there's any external users of this, and making both options hidden to the bash completion (as with most other internal-only options).
