[PATCH v3 3/3] object-info: add option for retrieving object info

From

In-Reply-To
<20220328191112.3092139-1-calvinwan@google.com>

Sometimes it is useful to get information about an object without having to download it completely. The server logic has already been implemented as “a2ba162cda (object-info: support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20)”. This patch implements the client option for it. Currently, only 'size' is supported, however future patches can implement additional options.

Add ‘--object-info’ option to fetch. This option allows the client to make an object-info command request to a server that supports protocol v2. If the server is v2, but does not allow for the object-info command request, fetch the objects as if it were a standard fetch (however without changing any refs). Therefore, hook `fetch object-info` into transport_fetch_refs() to easily fallback if needed.

A previous patch added the `transfer.advertiseObjectInfo` config option, of which this patch utilizes to test the fallback.
