wireproto: allow wire protocol commands to declare transport support

Currently, wire protocol commands are exposed on all transports.
Some wire protocol commands are only supported or sensical on some
transports. In the future, new wire protocol commands may only be
available on new transports and legacy wire protocol commands may
not be available to newer transports.

This commit introduces a mechanism to allow @wireprotocommand to
declare transports for which they should not be available. The
mechanism for determining if a wire protocol command is available
for a given transport instance has been taught to take this knowledge
into account.

To help implement this feature, we add a dict to wireprototypes
declaring all wire transports and their metadata. There's probably
room to refactor the constants used to identify the wire protocols.
But that can be in another commit.

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).
