wireproto: add media type to version 2 capabilities response

This is useful to advertise because servers reject unsupported
media types. A client may wish to speak multiple media types and
choose the one the server supports.

I doubt we'll ever use multiple media types or negotiation in core.
But during the course of developing this protocol, I may end up
making extensions that backport and forward port protocol support
as needed to support Mercurial deploys in the wild. e.g. I may
deploy support for an older protocol on a server so old clients
can continue using it.

It's worth pursuing changing the SSH protocol's upgrade mechanism
to support multiple media types as well...

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
