clone: send server options when using protocol v2
Commit 5e3548ef16 ("fetch: send server options when using protocol v2", 2018-04-24) taught "fetch" the ability to send server options when using protocol v2, but not "clone". This ability is triggered by "-o" or "--server-option". Teach "clone" the same ability, except that because "clone" already has "-o" for another parameter, teach "clone" only to receive "--server-option". Explain in the documentation, both for clone and for fetch, that server handling of server options are server-specific. This is similar to receive-pack's handling of push options - currently, they are just sent to hooks to interpret as they see fit.
