promisor-remote: allow a client to check fields

A previous commit allowed a server to pass additional fields through
the "promisor-remote" protocol capability after the "name" and "url"
fields, specifically the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" fields.

Let's make it possible for a client to check if these fields match
what it expects before accepting a promisor remote.

We allow this by introducing a new "promisor.checkFields"
configuration variable. It should contain a comma or space separated
list of fields that will be checked.

By limiting the protocol to specific well-defined fields, we ensure
both server and client have a shared understanding of field
semantics and usage.

+promisor.checkFields::
+	A comma or space separated list of additional remote related
+	field names. A client checks if the values of these fields
+	transmitted by a server correspond to the values of these
+	fields in its own configuration before accepting a promisor
+	remote. Currently, "partialCloneFilter" and "token" are the
+	only supported field names.
++
+If one of these field names (e.g., "token") is being checked for an
+advertised promisor remote (e.g., "foo"), three conditions must be met
+for the check of this specific field to pass:
++
+1. The corresponding local configuration (e.g., `remote.foo.token`)
+   must be set.
+2. The server must advertise the "token" field for remote "foo".
+3. The value of the locally configured `remote.foo.token` must exactly
+   match the value advertised by the server for the "token" field.
++
+If any of these conditions is not met for any field name listed in
+`promisor.checkFields`, the advertised remote "foo" is rejected.
++
+For the "partialCloneFilter" field, this allows the client to ensure
+that the server's filter matches what it expects locally, preventing
+inconsistencies in filtering behavior. For the "token" field, this can
+be used to verify that authentication credentials match expected
+values.
++
+Field values are compared case-sensitively.
++
+The "name" and "url" fields are always checked according to the
+`promisor.acceptFromServer` policy, independently of this setting.
++
+The field names and values should be passed by the server through the
+"promisor-remote" capability by using the `promisor.sendFields` config
+variable. The fields are checked only if the
+`promisor.acceptFromServer` config variable is not set to "None". If
+set to "None", this config variable has no effect. See
+linkgit:gitprotocol-v2[5].
