The "advertise capabilities" mode of serve.c added in
ed10cb952d (serve: introduce git-serve, 2018-03-15) is only used by
the http-backend.c to call {upload,receive}-pack with the
--advertise-refs parameter. See 42526b478e (Add stateless RPC options
to upload-pack, receive-pack, 2009-10-30).
Let's just make cmd_upload_pack() take the two (v2) or three (v2)
parameters the the v2/v1 servicing functions need directly, and pass
those in via the function signature. The logic of whether daemon mode
is implied by the timeout belongs in the v1 function (only used
there).
Once we split up the "advertise v2 refs" from "serve v2 request" it
becomes clear that v2 never cared about those in combination. The only
time it mattered was for v1 to emit its ref advertisement, in that
case we wanted to emit the smart-http-only "no-done" capability.
Since we only do that in the --advertise-refs codepath let's just have
it set "do_done" itself in v1's upload_pack() just before send_ref(),
at that point --advertise-refs and --stateless-rpc in combination are
redundant (the only user is get_info_refs() in http-backend.c), so we
can just pass in --advertise-refs only.
Since we need to touch all the serve() and advertise_capabilities()
codepaths let's rename them to less clever and obvious names, it's
been suggested numerous times, the latest of which is [1]'s suggestion
for protocol_v2_serve_loop(). Let's go with that.

The has_capability() function introduced in ed10cb952d (serve:
introduce git-serve, 2018-03-15) has never been used anywhere except
serve.c, so let's mark it as static.
It was later changed from "extern" in 554544276a (*.[ch]: remove
extern from function declarations using spatch, 2019-04-29), but we
could have simply marked it as "static" instead.

The name "argv-array" isn't very good, because it describes what the
data type can be used for (program argument arrays), not what it
actually is (a dynamically-growing string array that maintains a
NULL-terminator invariant). This leads to people being hesitant to use
it for other cases where it would actually be a good fit. The existing
name is also clunky to use. It's overly long, and the name often leads
to saying things like "argv.argv" (i.e., the field names overlap with
variable names, since they're describing the use, not the type). Let's
give it a more neutral name.
I settled on "strvec" because "vector" is the name for a dynamic array
type in many programming languages. "strarray" would work, too, but it's
longer and a bit more awkward to say (and don't we all say these things
in our mind as we type them?).
A more extreme direction would be a generic data structure which stores
a NULL-terminated of _any_ type. That would be easy to do with void
pointers, but we'd lose some type safety for the existing cases. Plus it
raises questions about memory allocation and ownership. So I limited
myself here to changing names only, and not semantics. If we do find a
use for that more generic data type, we could perhaps implement it at a
lower level and then provide type-safe wrappers around it for strings.
But that can come later.
This patch does the minimum to convert the struct and function names in
the header and implementation, leaving a few things for follow-on
patches:
- files retain their original names for now
- struct field names are retained for now
- there's a preprocessor compat layer that lets most users remain the
same for now. The exception is headers which made a manual forward
declaration of the struct. I've converted them (and their dependent
function declarations) here.

In previous patches, extern was mechanically removed from function
declarations without care to formatting, causing parameter lists to be
misaligned. Manually format changed sections such that the parameter
lists should be realigned.
Viewing this patch with 'git diff -w' should produce no output.

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.
This was the Coccinelle patch used:
@@
type T;
identifier f;
@@
- extern
T f(...);
and it was run with:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

Introduce git-serve, the base server for protocol version 2.
Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current
wire protocol. The intention is that it will be a simpler, less
wasteful protocol which can evolve over time.
Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial
ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of
capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability
advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be
executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific
parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that
another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a
flush packet.
