Expand the transport fetch method signature, by adding an output
parameter, to allow transports to return information about the refs they
have fetched. Then communicate shallow status information through this
mechanism instead of by modifying the input list of refs.
This does require clients to sometimes generate the ref map twice: once
from the list of refs provided by the remote (as is currently done) and
potentially once from the new list of refs that the fetch mechanism
provides.

Convert the 'struct transport' virtual function 'get_refs_list()' to
optionally take an argv_array of ref prefixes. When communicating with
a server using protocol v2 these ref prefixes can be sent when
requesting a listing of their refs allowing the server to filter the
refs it sends based on the sent prefixes. This list will be ignored
when not using protocol v2.

Move the definition of the transport-specific functions provided by
transports, whether declared in transport.c or transport-helper.c, into
an internal header. This means that transport-using code (as opposed to
transport-declaring code) can no longer access these functions (without
importing the internal header themselves), making it clear that they
should use the transport_*() functions instead, and also allowing the
interface between the transport mechanism and an individual transport to
independently evolve.
This is superficially a reversal of commit 824d5776c3 ("Refactor
struct transport_ops inlined into struct transport", 2007-09-19).
However, the scope of the involved variables was neither affected nor
discussed in that commit, and I think that the advantages in making
those functions more private outweigh the advantages described in that
commit's commit message. A minor additional point is that the code has
gotten more complicated since then, in that the function-pointer
variables are potentially mutated twice (once initially and once if
transport_take_over() is invoked), increasing the value of corralling
them into their own struct.
