connect: tell server that the client understands v1
Teach the connection logic to tell a serve that it understands protocol v1. This is done in 2 different ways for the builtin transports, both of which ultimately set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' to 'version=1' on the server. 1. git:// A normal request to git-daemon is structured as "command path/to/repo\0host=..\0" and due to a bug introduced in 49ba83fb6 (Add virtualization support to git-daemon, 2006-09-19) we aren't able to place any extra arguments (separated by NULs) besides the host otherwise the parsing of those arguments would enter an infinite loop. This bug was fixed in 73bb33a94 (daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the command, 2009-06-04) but a check was put in place to disallow extra arguments so that new clients wouldn't trigger this bug in older servers. In order to get around this limitation git-daemon was taught to recognize additional request arguments hidden behind a second NUL byte. Requests can then be structured like: "command path/to/repo\0host=..\0\0version=1\0key=value\0". git-daemon can then parse out the extra arguments and set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' accordingly. By placing these extra arguments behind a second NUL byte we can skirt around both the infinite loop bug in 49ba83fb6 (Add virtualization support to git-daemon, 2006-09-19) as well as the explicit disallowing of extra arguments introduced in 73bb33a94 (daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the command, 2009-06-04) because both of these versions of git-daemon check for a single NUL byte after the host argument before terminating the argument parsing. 2. ssh://, file:// Set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable with the desired protocol version. With the file:// transport, 'GIT_PROTOCOL' can be set explicitly in the locally running git-upload-pack or git-receive-pack processes. With the ssh:// transport and OpenSSH compliant ssh programs, 'GIT_PROTOCOL' can be sent across ssh by using '-o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL' and having the server whitelist this environment variable.
