[PATCH v5 8/8] send-pack: gracefully close the connection for atomic push

From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>

Patrick reported an issue that the exit code of git-receive-pack(1) is ignored during atomic push with "--porcelain" flag, and added new test cases in t5543.

This issue originated from commit 7dcbeaa0df (send-pack: fix inconsistent porcelain output, 2020-04-17). At that time, I chose to ignore the exit code of "finish_connect()" without investigating the root cause of the abnormal termination of git-receive-pack. That was an incorrect solution.

The root cause is that an atomic push operation terminates early without sending a flush packet to git-receive-pack. As a result, git-receive-pack continues waiting for commands without exiting. By sending a flush packet at the appropriate location in "send_pack()", we ensure that the git-receive-pack process closes properly, avoiding an erroneous exit code for git-push. At the same time, revert the changes to the "transport.c" file made in commit 7dcbeaa0df.
