[PATCH 22/25] connect: implement get_recommended_features()

Message-ID
<7a8b13c308c1e54e4f51429805fc309384a93120.1645641063.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1160.git.1645641063.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

This method allows a client to request and parse the 'features' capability of protocol v2. The response is expected to be a list of 'key=value' lines, but this implementation does no checking of the lines, expecting a later parse of the lines to be careful of the existence of that '=' character.

This change is based on an earlier patch [1] written for a similar capability.
