This allows the remote side (most notably, upload-pack) to show
additional information without affecting the downloader. Peek-remote
does not ignore them -- this is to make it useful for Pasky's
automatic tag following.

Add a git-peek-remote command that talks with upload-pack the
same way git-fetch-pack and git-clone-pack do, to show the
references the remote side has on the standard output.
A later patch introduces git-ls-remote that implements a UI to
store tag values retrieved using this command.
