One of the design goals of protocol-v2 is to improve the semantics of
flush packets.  Currently in protocol-v1, flush packets are used both to
indicate a break in a list of packet lines as well as an indication that
one side has finished speaking.  This makes it particularly difficult
to implement proxies as a proxy would need to completely understand git
protocol instead of simply looking for a flush packet.

To do this, introduce the special deliminator packet '0001'.  A delim
packet can then be used as a deliminator between lists of packet lines
while flush packets can be reserved to indicate the end of a response.

Please mention where this can be found in the documentation.
(Defer to later patch?)

Yeah the documentation does get added in a future patch, I'll make a
comment to that effect.

As the commit message states, this is only to be used for v2,
in v0 it is still an illegal pkt.
