Helpers which support connect also should support remote archive
snapshot (or at least there's only one way to attempt it). So support
remote snapshotting for protocol helpers.

Or "Because the transport layer has been restructured cleanly enough to
allow passing general payload, there is no reason not to do this change to
pass 'archive' output in addition to the 'git smart fetch/push protocol'
payload, and this allows the archive command to take advantage of the
helper based transports"???

This one is the correct interpretation.

Changed to:
-----------
Support remote archive from all smart transports

Previously, remote archive required internal (non remote-helper)
smart transport. Extend the remote archive to also support smart
transports implemented by remote helpers.
