fetch_object_info() dies when the server does not advertise the object-info capability. That is fine for git cat-file remote-object-info command, which cannot work without it. However a subsequent commit needs fetch_object_info() to not die, to be able to fallback.

Add "enum fetch_object_info_status" so that fetch_object_info() can report this case to its callers. It is used in a subsequent commit.
