Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'.  This
capability indicates that the transport-helper can be requested to run
the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a
stateless connection with a remote end.  Once established, the
connection can be used by the git client to communicate with
the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by
protocol v2.  This means that the client must send everything the server
needs in a single request as the client must not assume any
state-storing on the part of the server or transport.

If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper
will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that
the client should fallback to using the dumb remote-helper commands.

Please add documentation for this command to
Documentation/gitremote-helpers.txt.

That helps reviewers, since it means reviewers can get a sense of what
the interface is meant to be.  It helps remote helper implementers as
well: it tells them what they can rely on and what can't rely on in
this interface.  For the same reason it helpers remote helper callers
as well.

Thanks,

Thanks for reminding me.  I had intended to at some point but had
forgotten to do so.  I'm going to mark this it as experimental and for
internal use only so that we can still tweak the interface if we want
before it becomes stable.
