transport: add protocol policy config option

Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to
specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push
commands.  This patch introduces new configuration options for more
fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols.  This also has
the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol
whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is
non-trivial.

Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via
the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option.  A default policy for all
unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config
option.  If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe
protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous
protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other
protocols.

The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`.  The `user`
policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly
used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run
clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g.
recursive initialization of submodules).  Commands which can potentially
clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention
can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent
protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used.

Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext
protocol to be tested.

Based on a patch by Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

protocol.allow::
If set, provide a user defined default policy for all protocols which
don't explicitly have a policy (`protocol.<name>.allow`). By default,
if unset, known-safe protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file) have a
default policy of `always`, known-dangerous protocols (ext) have a
default policy of `never`, and all other protocols have a default
policy of `user`. Supported policies:
+
--
* `always` - protocol is always able to be used.
* `never` - protocol is never able to be used.
* `user` - protocol is only able to be used when `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` is
either unset or has a value of 1. This policy should be used when you want a
protocol to be directly usable by the user but don't want it used by commands which
execute clone/fetch/push commands without user input, e.g. recursive
submodule initialization.
--
protocol.<name>.allow::
Set a policy to be used by protocol `<name>` with clone/fetch/push
commands. See `protocol.allow` above for the available policies.
+
The protocol names currently used by git are:
+
--
- `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs,
or local paths)
- `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
connection (or proxy, if configured)
- `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax,
`ssh://`, etc).
- `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want to configure
both, you must do so individually.
- any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
`hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)

a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the

`GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL`::
If set, provide a colon-separated list of protocols which are
allowed to be used with fetch/push/clone. This is useful to
restrict recursive submodule initialization from an untrusted
repository. Any protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e.,
this is a whitelist, not a blacklist). If the variable is not
set at all, all protocols are enabled. The protocol names
currently used by git are:
- `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs,
or local paths)
- `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
connection (or proxy, if configured)
- `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax,
`ssh://`, etc).
- `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want both,
you should specify both as `http:https`.
- any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
`hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)
If set to a colon-separated list of protocols, behave as if
`protocol.allow` is set to `never`, and each of the listed
protocols has `protocol.<name>.allow` set to `always`
(overriding any existing configuration). In other words, any
protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e., this is a
whitelist, not a blacklist). See the description of
`protocol.allow` in linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
`GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER`::
Set to 0 to prevent protocols used by fetch/push/clone which are
configured to the `user` state. This is useful to restrict recursive
submodule initialization from an untrusted repository or for programs
which feed potentially-untrusted URLS to git commands. See
linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
