When sending the "want" list, the capabilities list is separated from
the obj-id by a SP instead of NUL as in the ref advertisement. The
text is correct, but the examples wrongly show the separator as
NUL. Fix the example so it uses SP.

The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both
sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and
send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully.
Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is
shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF
notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format.
Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the
upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt
describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress,
include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.
