[PATCH v9 6/7] convert: refactor capabilities negotiation

[Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx>]

The code to negotiate long running filter capabilities was very
repetitive for new capabilities. Replace the repetitive conditional
statements with a table-driven approach. This is useful for the
subsequent patch 'convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process
protocol'.

Suggested-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>
