fetch-pack: support negotiation tip whitelist

During negotiation, fetch-pack eventually reports as "have" lines all
commits reachable from all refs. Allow the user to restrict the commits
sent in this way by providing a whitelist of tips; only the tips
themselves and their ancestors will be sent.

Both globs and single objects are supported.

This feature is only supported for protocols that support connect or
stateless-connect (such as HTTP with protocol v2).

This will speed up negotiation when the repository has multiple
relatively independent branches (for example, when a repository
interacts with multiple repositories, such as with linux-next [1] and
torvalds/linux [2]), and the user knows which local branch is likely to
have commits in common with the upstream branch they are fetching.
