Stop throwing error when requesting oids from a git server that doesn't explicitly advertise that capability. The overwhelming majority of git servers will serve this request even when they don't advertise this capability, e.g. git-http-backend. For many years, the git reference implementation has assumed servers have this capability even when `allow-tip-sha1-in-want` or `allow-reachable-sha1-in-want` isnt included in `git-upload-pack-advertisement`, e.g. with `git fetch <remote> <oid>`. closes libgit2#7078
