fetch-pack: show clearer error message upon ERR

Browse Source 
Currently, fetch-pack prints a confusing error message ("expected
ACK/NAK") when the server it's communicating with sends a pkt-line
starting with "ERR".  Replace it with a less confusing error message.

Also update the documentation describing the fetch-pack/upload-pack
protocol (pack-protocol.txt) to indicate that "ERR" can be sent in the
place of "ACK" or "NAK". In practice, this has been done for quite some
time by other Git implementations (e.g. JGit sends "want $id not valid")
and by Git itself (since commit bdb31ea: "upload-pack: report "not our
ref" to client", 2017-02-23) whenever a "want" line references an object
that it does not have. (This is uncommon, but can happen if a repository
is garbage-collected during a negotiation.)

multi_ack_detailed is enabled. The server always sends NAK after 'done'
if there is no common base found.
Instead of 'ACK' or 'NAK', the server may send an error message (for
example, if it does not recognize an object in a 'want' line received
from the client).
Then the server will start sending its packfile data.
