[PATCH v3 01/11] docs: new capability to advertise session IDs

[Josh Steadmon <steadmon@google.com>]

In future patches, we will add the ability for Git servers and clients
to advertise unique session IDs via protocol capabilities. This
allows for easier debugging when both client and server logs are
available.
