[RFC PATCH v3 03/17] fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want list

In-Reply-To
<1255577814-14745-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

This change is being offered as a refactoring to make later commits in the smart HTTP series easier.

By changing the enabled capabilities to be formatted in a strbuf it is easier to add a new capability to the set of supported capabilities.

By formatting the want portion of the request into a strbuf and writing it as a whole block we can later decide to hold onto the req_buf (instead of releasing it) to recycle in stateless communications.
