Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space. By moving
the things that discuss the protocol we can properly link from
e.g. lsrefs.unborn and protocol.version documentation to a manpage we
build by default.
So far we have been using the "gitformat-" prefix for the
documentation we've been moving over from Documentation/technical/*,
but for protocol documentation let's use "gitprotocol-*".

Document it for partial clones as a means to apply a new filter, and
reference it from the remote.<name>.partialclonefilter config parameter.

The git-repack doc clearly states that it *does* operate on promisor
packfiles (in a separate partition), with "-a" specified. Presumably
the statements here are outdated, as they feature from the first doc
in 2017 (and the repack support was added in 2018)

Teach Git to lazy-fetch missing objects in a subprocess instead of doing
it in-process. This allows any fatal errors that occur during the fetch
to be isolated and converted into an error return value, instead of
causing the current command being run to terminate.

Doc update for the mailing list archiving and nntp service.
* jk/lore-is-the-archive:
doc: replace public-inbox links with lore.kernel.org
doc: recommend lore.kernel.org over public-inbox.org
Since we're now recommending lore.kernel.org (and because the
public-inbox.org domain might eventually go away), let's update our
internal references to use it, too. That future-proofs our references,
and sets the example we want people to follow.

While at it, let's remove a reference to ODB effort as the ODB
effort has been replaced by directly enhancing partial clone
and promisor remote features.

Rendered documentation can be easier to read than raw text because
headings and emphasized phrases stand out. Add the missing markup and
Makefile rule required to render this design document using asciidoc.
Tested by running
make -C Documentation technical/partial-clone.html
and viewing the output in a browser.
