Calvin Wan 7568f84d86 transport: add client support for object-info
Sometimes, it is beneficial to retrieve information about an object
without downloading it entirely. The server-side logic for this
functionality was implemented in commit "a2ba162cda (object-info:
support for retrieving object info, 2021-04-20)." And the wire
format is documented at
https://git-scm.com/docs/protocol-v2#_object_info.

This commit introduces client functions to interact with the server.

Currently, the client supports requesting a list of object IDs with
the 'size' feature from a v2 server. If the server does not advertise
this feature (i.e., transfer.advertiseobjectinfo is set to false),
the client will return an error and exit.

Notice that the entire request is written into req_buf before being
sent to the remote. This approach follows the pattern used in the
`send_fetch_request()` logic within fetch-pack.c.
Streaming the request is not addressed in this patch.
