[PATCH] upload-pack: squelch progress indicator if client does not request sideband

upload-pack runs pack-objects, which generates progress indicator output on its stderr. If the client requests a sideband, this indicator is sent to the client; but if it did not, then the progress is written to upload-pack's own stderr.

Since the previous patch git-daemon monitors stderr of the service program, such as upload-pack, and copies it to the syslog. This would now also copy the progress indicator to the syslog. We avoid this by calling pack-objects without --progress if there is no sideband channel to the client.

Unfortunately, upload-pack *does* write the progress to fd 2, and this fixes it.
