fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.
Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like
This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.
So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

When using combine_notes_concatenate() to concatenate notes, it currently
ensures exactly one newline character between the given notes. However,
when using builtin/notes.c:create_note() to concatenate notes (e.g. by
'git notes append'), it adds a newline character to the trailing newline
of the preceding notes object, thus resulting in _two_ newlines (aka. a
blank line) separating contents of the two notes.
This patch brings combine_notes_concatenate() into consistency with
builtin/notes.c:create_note(), by ensuring exactly _two_ newline characters
between concatenated notes.
The patch also changes a few notes-related selftests accordingly.

This patch adds testcases verifying correct behaviour in several scenarios
regarding fast-import of notes:
- using a mixture of 'N' and 'M' commands
- updating existing notes
- concatenation of notes
- 'deleteall' also removes notes
- fanout schemes is added/removed when needed
- git-fast-import's branch unload/reload preserves notes
- non-notes are not clobbered in the presence of notes
