If a user fetches refs/heads/master from a repo with namespace "ns", the
remote is expected to (1) not send the real refs/heads/master, and (2)
send refs/namespaces/ns/refs/heads/master with the name
refs/heads/master. (1) indeed happens now, but not (2) - Git only sends
refs that have the user-given prefix, but it checks them against the
full name of the ref (the one starting with refs/namespaces), and not
the namespace-stripped one.
This is demonstrated by the patch in the test. Currently, it results in
"fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master" despite both
unnamespaced and namespaced master being present. With the code change,
it produces the expected result.
Check the ref prefixes against the namespace-stripped name.
This bug was discovered through applying patches [1] that override
protocol.version to 2 in repositories when running tests, allowing us to
notice differences in behavior across different protocol versions.

In the v2 protocol, upload-pack's advertisement has been moved to the
"ls-refs" command. That command does not respect hidden-ref config (like
transfer.hiderefs) at all, and advertises everything.
While there are some features that are not supported in v2 (e.g., v2
always allows fetching any sha1 without respect to advertisements), the
lack of this feature is not documented and is likely just a bug. Let's
make it work, as otherwise upgrading a server to a v2-capable git will
start exposing these refs that the repository admin has asked to remain
hidden.
Note that we assume we're operating on behalf of a fetch here, since
that's the only thing implemented in v2 at this point. See the in-code
comment. We'll have to figure out how this works when the v2 push
protocol is designed (both here in ls-refs, but also rejecting updates
to hidden refs).

Introduce the ls-refs server command. In protocol v2, the ls-refs
command is used to request the ref advertisement from the server. Since
it is a command which can be requested (as opposed to mandatory in v1),
a client can sent a number of parameters in its request to limit the ref
advertisement based on provided ref-prefixes.
