Ilari Liusvaara 7851b1e60f remote-fd/ext: finishing touches after code review
When compiling with pthread support, transport-helper.c needs to include
necessary header files.  Also fix a few error messages in remote-ext and
remote-fd programs, and a potential buffer underrun in remote-fd.

In the documentation, clarify how %G and %V are used; the old description
looked as if they take repository/vhost parameters, which was wrong.

Also fix AsciiDoc markup for the page title of remote-fd/remote-ext manpages,
and tweak the way how section headers are shown.

git-remote-fd(1)
================
NAME
----
git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
SYNOPSIS
--------
"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to remote git server.
This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git
fetch, push or archive.
If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be bidirectional socket connected
to remote git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
git-upload-achive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
to be pipes connected to remote git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe
and <outfd> being the outbound pipe.
It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed
(such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for provoding
information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
context.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
---------------------
GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG::
If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.
EXAMPLES
--------
git fetch fd::17 master::
Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
git-upload-pack.
git fetch fd::17/foo master::
Same as above.
git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)::
Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to
same service.
git push fd::7,8/bar master::
Same as above.
