Add multi_ack_detailed capability to fetch-pack/upload-pack

When multi_ack_detailed is enabled the ACK continue messages returned
by the remote upload-pack are broken out to describe the different
states within the peer.  This permits the client to better understand
the server's in-memory state.

The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol now looks like:

NAK
---------------------------------
  Always sent in response to "done" if there was no common base
  selected from the "have" lines (or no have lines were sent).

  * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent when the client has sent a pkt-line flush ("0000") and
    the server has not yet found a common base object.

  * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Always sent in response to a pkt-line flush.

ACK %s
-----------------------------------
  * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent in response to "have" when the object exists on the remote
    side and is therefore an object in common between the peers.
    The argument is the SHA-1 of the common object.

  * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

    Sent in response to "done" if there are common objects.
    The argument is the last SHA-1 determined to be common.

ACK %s continue
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack only:

    Sent in response to "have".

    The remote side wants the client to consider this object as
    common, and immediately stop transmitting additional "have"
    lines for objects that are reachable from it.  The reason
    the client should stop is not given, but is one of the two
    cases below available under multi_ack_detailed.

ACK %s common
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack_detailed only:

    Sent in response to "have".  Both sides have this object.
    Like with "ACK %s continue" above the client should stop
    sending have lines reachable for objects from the argument.

ACK %s ready
-----------------------------------
  * multi_ack_detailed only:

    Sent in response to "have".

    The client should stop transmitting objects which are reachable
    from the argument, and send "done" soon to get the objects.

    If the remote side has the specified object, it should
    first send an "ACK %s common" message prior to sending
    "ACK %s ready".

    Clients may still submit additional "have" lines if there are
    more side branches for the client to explore that might be added
    to the common set and reduce the number of objects to transfer.
