Brandon Williams 373d70efb2 protocol: introduce protocol extension mechanisms
Create protocol.{c,h} and provide functions which future servers and
clients can use to determine which protocol to use or is being used.

Also introduce the 'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable which will be
used to communicate a colon separated list of keys with optional values
to a server.  Unknown keys and values must be tolerated.  This mechanism
is used to communicate which version of the wire protocol a client would
like to use with a server.
