remote-curl: don't hang when a server dies before any output

In the event that a HTTP server closes the connection after giving a
200 but before giving any packets, we don't want to hang forever
waiting for a response that will never come.  Instead, we should die
immediately.

One case where this happens is when attempting to fetch a dangling
object by its object name.  In this case, the server dies before
sending any data.  Prior to this patch, fetch-pack would wait for
data from the server, and remote-curl would wait for fetch-pack,
causing a deadlock.

Despite this patch, there is other possible malformed input that could
cause the same deadlock (e.g. a half-finished pktline, or a pktline but
no trailing flush).  There are a few possible solutions to this:

1. Allowing remote-curl to tell fetch-pack about the EOF (so that
fetch-pack could know that no more data is coming until it says
something else).  This is tricky because an out-of-band signal would
be required, or the http response would have to be re-framed inside
another layer of pkt-line or something.

2. Make remote-curl understand some of the protocol.  It turns out
that in addition to understanding pkt-line, it would need to watch for
ack/nak.  This is somewhat fragile, as information about the protocol
would end up in two places.  Also, pkt-lines which are already at the
length limit would need special handling.

Both of these solutions would require a fair amount of work, whereas
this hack is easy and solves at least some of the problem.

Still to do: it would be good to give a better error message
than "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly".
