New Features

• fetch::Arguments::use_include_tag() allows to signal include-tag.
  One can also check for its availability using fetch::Arguments::can_use_include_tag().

  Further there was a bugfix that assues V1 capabilities are correctly interpreted to support
  include-tag.

• due to more specific errors one can differentiate if remote authentication failed repeatedly.

• some errors support is_spurious() to tell if retrying is possible.

Bug Fixes

• don't pass 'include-tag' as argument by default.
  This flag always has to be added by the caller based on configuration.

• don't post packfile-uris capability unless we are able to make use of it.
  Turns out that this option can be rejected by a server that advertises
  it, so definitely needs more work to make it work.

• Parse refs from bytes, not from String.
  The latter can cause issues around illformed UTF-8 which wouldn't
  bother git either.

  This comes at the expense of not parsing line by line anymore, but
  instead reading as fast as possible and parsing afterwards.

  Performance wise I think it doesn't matter, but it will cause
  more memory to be used. If this ever becomes a problem,
  for example during pushes where we are stuck with V1, we can consider
  implementing our own streaming appreach that works with packet lines
  instead - they are just not exposed here even though they could.
