bundle: add new version for use with SHA-256

Currently we detect the hash algorithm in use by the length of the
object ID.  This is inelegant and prevents us from using a different
hash algorithm that is also 256 bits in length.

Since we cannot extend the v2 format in a backward-compatible way, let's
add a v3 format, which is identical, except for the addition of
capabilities, which are prefixed by an at sign.  We add "object-format"
as the only capability and reject unknown capabilities, since we do not
have a network connection and therefore cannot negotiate with the other
side.

For compatibility, default to the v2 format for SHA-1 and require v3
for SHA-256.

In t5510, always use format v3 so we can be sure we produce consistent
results across hash algorithms.  Since head -n N lists the top N lines
instead of the Nth line, let's run our output through sed to normalize
it and compare it against a fixed value, which will make sure we get
exactly what we're expecting.
