[PATCH 2/4] receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving push options

The pre/post receive hook may be interested in more information from the user. This information can be transmitted when both client and server support the "push-options" capability, which when used is a phase directly after update commands ended by a flush pkt.

Similar to the atomic option, the server capability can be disabled via the `receive.advertisePushOptions` config variable. While documenting this, fix a nit in the `receive.advertiseAtomic` wording.
