[PATCH v2 0/7] remote-curl: fix deadlocks when remote server disconnects

The following command hangs forever:

	$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
	Cloning into 'git'...

This occurs because the --shallow-since arg is incorrect and the server dies early. However, remote-curl does not realise that the server errored out and just faithfully forwards the packets to fetch-pack before waiting on more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack keeps reading as it still expects more input. As a result, the processes deadlock. Original analysis by Peff: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200328154936.GA1217052@coredump.intra.peff.net/

Changes since v1:

* Remove fallthrough in switch in favour of just extracting the common
  call out of the switch in patch 3

* Add more detail in function comment and use `const char linelen[4]` in
  patch 4

* Implement most of Peff's suggestions[0] in patch 5

* Only operate on stateless_connect() in patch 5

* Add tests in patch 5

* Drop "remote-curl: ensure last packet is a flush" in favour of
  "stateless-connect: send response end packet"
