[PATCH v2 3/8] upload-pack: support hidden refs with protocol v2

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

In the v2 protocol, upload-pack's advertisement has been moved to the "ls-refs" command. That command does not respect hidden-ref config (like transfer.hiderefs) at all, and advertises everything.

While there are some features that are not supported in v2 (e.g., v2 always allows fetching any sha1 without respect to advertisements), the lack of this feature is not documented and is likely just a bug. Let's make it work, as otherwise upgrading a server to a v2-capable git will start exposing these refs that the repository admin has asked to remain hidden.

Note that we depend on the config_context from the caller here to realize that we should respect uploadpack.hiderefs. When run from the "git-serve" tool, we won't have that context and will only respect transfer.hiderefs. This should be OK, as git-serve is not actually used for normal protocol operations.

Note also that we don't need to worry about the "An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by git push is rejected" feature of receive.hideRefs, see git-config(1). This is because there's no v2 push protocol yet.
