upload-pack: implement ref-in-want
Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and there exists replication delay. In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references (as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.
