[PATCH v2 3/3] {fetch,upload}-pack: support filter in protocol v2

In-Reply-To
<cover.1525220786.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>

The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol v2 was developed independently of the filter parameter (used in partial fetches), thus it did not include support for it. Add support for the filter parameter.

Like in the legacy protocol, the server advertises and supports "filter" only if uploadpack.allowfilter is configured.

Like in the legacy protocol, the client continues with a warning if "--filter" is specified, but the server does not advertise it.

 The response of `fetch` is broken into a number of sections separated by
 delimiter packets (0001), with each section beginning with its section
 header.
