transport/internal: error handling fixes and clean up (#160)

* protocol/packp: remove redundant isFlush check on AdvRefs.
* protocol/packp: improve AdvRefs documentation.
* transport: improve error handling for non-existing repos.
* protocol/packp: AdvRefs Decode now returns different errors for
  empty, but syntactically correct, AdvRefs message (ErrEmptyAdvRefs)
  and empty input (ErrEmptyInput).
* transport/internal/common: read stderr only when needed (ErrEmptyInput).
  Close the client gracefully.
* transport/internal/common: missing stderr on non existing repository
  does not block.
* transport/internal/common: buffer error messages.
* transport/file: fix changing binary name, add tests.
* transport/file: support changing git-upload-pack and git-receive-pack
  binary names.
* transport/file: add tests for misbehaving servers.
* transport/internal/common: remove Stderr field.
* transport/internal/common: do not close twice.
