This adds two new remote helpers.
* git-remote-fd, which connects to git service on given file descriptor(s),
useful for graphical user interfaces that want to use internal ssh client.
* git-remote-ext, which connect to git service using external program. Useful
for connecting using odd one-off ssh options, to services in abstract
namespace, using unix domain sockets, using TLS, etc...
Changes from last time:
* Some misc cleanups.
* Fix bug in transfer loop that manifests when remote end is socket and
tasks are implemented as processes.
