[PATCH v2 2/2] http: support omitting data from traces

GIT_TRACE_CURL provides a way to debug what is being sent and received over HTTP, with automatic redaction of sensitive information. But it also logs data transmissions, which significantly increases the log file size, sometimes unnecessarily. Add an option "GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA" to allow the user to omit such data transmissions.
