Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to
specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push
commands. This patch introduces new configuration options for more
fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols. This also has
the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol
whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is
non-trivial.
Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via
the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option. A default policy for all
unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config
option. If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe
protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous
protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other
protocols.
The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`. The `user`
policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly
used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run
clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g.
recursive initialization of submodules). Commands which can potentially
clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention
can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent
protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used.
Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext
protocol to be tested.

We format a pkt-line into a heap buffer, which requires
manual computation of the required size, and uses some bare
sprintf calls. We could use a strbuf instead, which would
take care of the computation for us. But it's even easier
still to use packet_write(). Besides handling the formatting
and writing for us, it fixes two things:
1. Our manual max-size check used 0xFFFF, while technically
LARGE_PACKET_MAX is slightly smaller than this.
2. Our packet will now be output as part of
GIT_TRACE_PACKET debugging.
Unfortunately packet_write() does not let us build up the
buffer progressively, so we do have to repeat ourselves a
little depending on the "vhost" setting, but the end result
is still far more readable than the original.
Since there were no tests covering this feature at all,
we'll add a few into t5802.

This is an attempt to reproduce a problem reported for a third-party
custom "connect" remote helper. The conjecture is that sometimes
"git fetch" wants to make two connections (one for the primary
transfer with 'follow-tags' option set, and then after noticing that
some tags are not packed because the primary transfer did not have
to send any commit that is pointed by them, another to explicitly
ask for the missing tags), and their "connect" helper is not called
in the second request, breaking the "fetch" as a whole.
Unfortunately this test script does not trigger the alleged failure
and happily passes when talking to upload-pack from git-core (see
patch 5/5 for details).
