narrow: check for servers' narrow support before doing anything (BC)

Recently we introduced narrow capabilities for the server. So we can check
whether a server has narrow clone support or not before doing anything. This is
BC because new clients won't be able to extend from old narrow-enabled servers.
I *think* narrow is not used much (maybe just inside Google), also it's
experimental so I think we can change this. We will need to this someday anyway.

The "doesn't" in error is changed to "does not" because I think that's we do in
core. I also changed one more instance of the error message to use 'does not'
for consistency.

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).
