[PATCH v2 0/3] limit the size of the packs we receive

Goal
~~~~

In https://public-inbox.org/git/20150612182045.GA23698%40peff.net/,
Peff sent a patch that is used by GitHub to abort `git receive-pack`
when the size of the pack we receive is bigger than a configured
limit.

GitLab is interested in using the same approach and in standardizing
the error messages the user could get back.

Comments
~~~~~~~~

I kept Peff as the author of the patches that are made mostly from his
patch, but I added my Signed-off-by to them.

Changes from previous v1 version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  - removed last sentences of the commit message in patch 3/3, as
