Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space. By moving
the things that discuss the protocol we can properly link from
e.g. lsrefs.unborn and protocol.version documentation to a manpage we
build by default.
So far we have been using the "gitformat-" prefix for the
documentation we've been moving over from Documentation/technical/*,
but for protocol documentation let's use "gitprotocol-*".
