clone: send ref-prefixes when using protocol v2

Teach clone to send a list of ref-prefixes, when using protocol v2, to
allow the server to filter out irrelevant references from the
ref-advertisement.  This reduces wasted time and bandwidth when cloning
repositories with a larger number of references.
