Merge branch 'jk/http-server-protocol-versions'

Taking advantage of the CGI interface, http-backend has been
updated to enable protocol v2 automatically when the other side
asks for it.

* jk/http-server-protocol-versions:
  docs/protocol-v2: point readers transport config discussion
  docs/git: discuss server-side config for GIT_PROTOCOL
  docs/http-backend: mention v2 protocol

Clients may probe for optional protocol capabilities (like the v2
protocol) using the `Git-Protocol` HTTP header. In order to support
these, the contents of that header must appear in the `GIT_PROTOCOL`
environment variable. Most webservers will pass this header to the CGI
via the `HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL` variable, and `git-http-backend` will
automatically copy that to `GIT_PROTOCOL`. However, some webservers may
be more selective about which headers they'll pass, in which case they
need to be configured explicitly (see the mention of `Git-Protocol` in
the Apache config from the earlier EXAMPLES section).
The backend process sets GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to '$REMOTE_USER' and

This configuration is optional. If the variable is not propagated, then
