signed push: remove duplicated protocol info

With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even
though we already send a signed copy of the same information when
push certificate is in use.  Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair
not to do so.

The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure
that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet
outside the push certificate.  Otherwise a pusher can claim to be
pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while
issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will
evade later audits.

Finally, start documenting the protocol.

+Push Certificate
+----------------
+
+A push certificate begins with a set of header lines.  After the
+header and an empty line, the protocol commands follow, one per
+line.
+
+Currently, the following header fields are defined:
+
+`pusher` ident::
+	Identify the GPG key in "Human Readable Name <email@address>"
+	format.
+
+The GPG signature lines are a detached signature for the contents
+recorded in the push certificate before the signature block begins.
+The detached signature is used to certify that the commands were
+given by the pusher, who must be the signer.
