This helper function should really be a one-liner that
prints an error message, but it has ended up unnecessarily
complicated:
1. We call error() directly when we fail to start the curl
request, so we must later avoid printing a duplicate
error in http_error().
It would be much simpler in this case to just stuff the
error message into our usual curl_errorstr buffer
rather than printing it ourselves. This means that
http_error does not even have to care about curl's exit
value (the interesting part is in the errorstr buffer
already).
2. We return the "ret" value passed in to us, but none of
the callers actually cares about our return value. We
can just drop this entirely.

When we report http errors in fetching the initial ref
advertisement, we show the full URL we attempted to use,
including "info/refs?service=git-upload-pack". While this
may be useful for debugging a broken server, it is
unnecessarily verbose and confusing for most cases, in which
the client user is not even the same person as the owner of
the repository.
Let's just show the repository URL; debugging can happen
with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE, which shows way more useful
information, anyway.
At the same time, let's also make sure to mention the
repository URL when we report failed authentication
(previously we said only "Authentication failed"). Knowing
the URL can help the user realize why authentication failed
(e.g., they meant to push to remote A, not remote B).

When we get an http 404 trying to get the initial list of
refs from the server, we try to be helpful and remind the
user that update-server-info may need to be run. This looks
like:
$ git clone https://github.com/non/existent
Cloning into 'existent'...
fatal: https://github.com/non/existent/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
Suggesting update-server-info may be a good suggestion for
users who are in control of the server repo and who are
planning to set up dumb http. But for users of smart http,
and especially users who are not in control of the server
repo, the advice is useless and confusing.
Since most people are expected to use smart http these days,
it does not make sense to keep the update-server-info hint.
We not only drop the mention of update-server-info, but also
show only the main repo URL, not the full "info/refs" and
service parameter. These elements may be useful for
debugging a broken server configuration, but in the majority
of cases, users are not fetching from their own
repositories, but rather from other people's repositories;
they have neither the power nor interest to fix a broken
configuration, and the extra components just make the
message more confusing. Users who do want to debug can and
should use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to get more complete information
on the actual URLs visited.

The previous patch taught remote-curl to show custom advice
from the server when it is available. When we have shown
messages from the server, we can also drop our custom
advice; what the server has to say is likely to be more
accurate and helpful.
We not only drop the mention of update-server-info, but also
show only the main repo URL, not the full "info/refs" and
service parameter. These elements may be useful for
debugging a broken server configuration, but again, anything
the server has provided is likely to be more useful (and one
can still use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to get much more complete
debugging information).

If an http request to a remote git server fails, we show
only the http response code, or sometimes a custom message
for particular codes. This gives the server no opportunity
to offer a more detailed explanation of the reason for the
failure, or to give extra advice.
This patch teaches remote-curl to record and display the
body content of a failed http response. We only display such
responses when the content-type is advertised as text/plain,
as it is the most likely to look presentable on the user's
terminal (and it is hoped to be a good indication that the
message is intended for git clients, and not for a web
browser).
Each line of the new output is prepended with "remote:".
Example output may look like this (assuming the server is
configured to display such a helpful message):
$ GIT_SMART_HTTP=0 git clone https://example.com/some/repo.git
Cloning into 'repo'...
remote: Sorry, fetching via dumb http is forbidden.
remote: Please upgrade your git client to v1.6.6 or greater
remote: and make sure that smart-http is enabled.
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing http://localhost:5001/some/repo.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
For the sake of simplicity, we only record and display these
errors during the initial fetch of the ref list, as that is
the initial contact with the server and where the most
common, interesting errors happen (and there is already
precedent, as that is the only place we currently massage
http error codes into more helpful messages).

We currently set curl's FAILONERROR option, which means that
any http failures are reported as curl errors, and the
http body content from the server is thrown away.
This patch introduces a new option to http_get_strbuf which
specifies that the body content from a failed http response
should be placed in the destination strbuf, where it can be
accessed by the caller.
