sync: Support downloading bundle to initialize repositoryv1.7.7

An HTTP (or HTTPS) based remote server may now offer a 'clone.bundle'
file in each repository's Git directory. Over an http:// or https://
remote repo will first ask for '$URL/clone.bundle', and if present
download this to bootstrap the local client, rather than relying
on the native Git transport to initialize the new repository.

Bundles may be hosted elsewhere. The client automatically follows a
HTTP 302 redirect to acquire the bundle file. This allows servers
to direct clients to cached copies residing on content delivery
networks, where the bundle may be closer to the end-user.

Bundle downloads are resumeable from where they last left off,
allowing clients to initialize large repositories even when the
connection gets interrupted.

If a bundle does not exist for a repository (a HTTP 404 response
code is returned for '$URL/clone.bundle'), the native Git transport
is used instead. If the client is performing a shallow sync, the
bundle transport is not used, as there is no way to embed shallow
data into the bundle.
