transport-helper: introduce stateless-connect
Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'. This capability indicates that the transport-helper can be requested to run the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a stateless connection with a remote end. Once established, the connection can be used by the git client to communicate with the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by protocol v2. This means that the client must send everything the server needs in a single request as the client must not assume any state-storing on the part of the server or transport. If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that the client should fallback to using the dumb remote-helper commands. A future patch will implement the 'stateless-connect' capability in our http remote-helper (remote-curl) so that protocol v2 can be used using the http transport.
