[PATCH v2] fetch-pack: write effective filter to trace2

[Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Administrators of a managed Git environment (like the one at $DAYJOB)
might want to quantify the performance change of fetches with and
without filters from the client's point of view, and also detect if a
server does not support it. Therefore, log the filter information being
sent to the server whenever a fetch (or clone) occurs. Note that this is
not necessarily the same as what's specified on the CLI, because during
a fetch, the configured filter is used whenever a filter is not
specified on the CLI.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've renamed the keys and
distinguished the case in which the server does not support filters
following Jeff's suggestions.

A few small discussion points:
 - whether we need the print_verbose now that we have traces
 - should we log if no filter is specified
 - if yes, what key should it be logged under (I used "filter/none" for
   now)
