Merge branch 'ls/filter-process-delayed'

The filter-process interface learned to allow a process with long
latency give a "delayed" response.

* ls/filter-process-delayed:
  convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol
  convert: refactor capabilities negotiation
  convert: move multiple file filter error handling to separate function
  convert: put the flags field before the flag itself for consistent style
  t0021: write "OUT <size>" only on success
  t0021: make debug log file name configurable
  t0021: keep filter log files on comparison

 the command pipe on exit. The filter is expected to detect EOF
 and exit gracefully on its own. Git will wait until the filter
 process has stopped.
 
+Delay
+^^^^^
+
+If the filter supports the "delay" capability, then Git can send the
+flag "can-delay" after the filter command and pathname. This flag
+denotes that the filter can delay filtering the current blob (e.g. to
+compensate network latencies) by responding with no content but with
+the status "delayed" and a flush packet.
+------------------------
+packet:          git> command=smudge
+packet:          git> pathname=path/testfile.dat
+packet:          git> can-delay=1

+packet:          git< status=delayed
+packet:          git< 0000
+------------------------
+
+If the filter supports the "delay" capability then it must support the
+"list_available_blobs" command. If Git sends this command, then the
+filter is expected to return a list of pathnames representing blobs
+that have been delayed earlier and are now available.
+The list must be terminated with a flush packet followed
+by a "success" status that is also terminated with a flush packet. If
+no blobs for the delayed paths are available, yet, then the filter is
+expected to block the response until at least one blob becomes
+available. The filter can tell Git that it has no more delayed blobs
+by sending an empty list. As soon as the filter responds with an empty
+list, Git stops asking. All blobs that Git has not received at this
+point are considered missing and will result in an error.

+packet:          git< status=success
+packet:          git< 0000
+------------------------
+
+After Git received the pathnames, it will request the corresponding
+blobs again. These requests contain a pathname and an empty content
+section. The filter is expected to respond with the smudged content
+in the usual way as explained above.
