[PATCH] t5551: test usage of chunked encoding explicitly

When run using GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=2, a test in t5551 fails because 4 POSTs (probe, ls-refs, probe, fetch) are sent instead of 2 (probe, fetch).

One way to resolve this would be to relax the condition (from "= 2" to greater than 1, say), but upon further inspection, the test probably shouldn't be counting the number of POSTs. This test states that large requests are split across POSTs, but this is not correct; the main change is that chunked transfer encoding is used, but the request is still contained within one POST. (The test coincidentally works because Git indeed sends 2 POSTs in the case of a large request, but that is because, as stated above, the first POST is a probing RPC - see post_rpc() in remote-curl.c for more information.)

Therefore, instead of counting POSTs, check that chunked transfer encoding is used. This also has the desirable side effect of passing with GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=2.

With this change, all tests pass at master with
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=2.
