2016-05-03git-http-backend: reduce memory use for clone/fetch
When serving large static files or large packs, we may call Danga::Socket::write directly to queue up callbacks to resume reading and defer firing them until the socket is writable. This prevents us from scheduling writes or buffering until we know the socket is writable and prevents needless buffering by Danga::Socket when faced with slow clients. For smart clones, this comes at the cost of throttling the output of "git pack-objects" to the speed of the client connection. This is probably not ideal, but is the behavior of the standard git-daemon, too; and is preferable to running the httpd out-of-memory. Buffering to the filesystem may be an option in the future...
