The remote-fd expects the transport to pass half-closes. So you can't
close all at once.

Let there be pipes W and R and transport connection C.

- W-read should be closed after being passed to remote-fd.
- R-write should be closed after being passed to remote-fd.
- Upon receiving "no more data" from C, close W-write.
- Upon receiving EOF from R-read, close it and signal "no more data"
  to C.

If you have server end, the same applies, but with remote-fd replaced
by upload-pack/upload-archive/receive-pack.
