[PATCH 1/2] Disable dumb HTTP fallback with GIT_DUMB_HTTP_FALLBACK=false

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <spearce@spearce.org>

If the user doesn't want to use the dumb HTTP protocol, she may set GIT_DUMB_HTTP_FALLBACK=false in the environment before invoking a Git protocol operation. This is mostly useful when testing against servers that are known to not support the dumb protocol. If the smart service detection fails the client should not continue with dumb behavior, but instead provide accurate HTTP failure data.
