send-pack: gracefully close the connection for atomic push

Patrick reported an issue that the exit code of git-receive-pack(1) is
ignored during atomic push with "--porcelain" flag, and added new test
cases in t5543.

This issue originated from commit 7dcbeaa0df (send-pack: fix
inconsistent porcelain output, 2020-04-17). At that time, I chose to
ignore the exit code of "finish_connect()" without investigating the
root cause of the abnormal termination of git-receive-pack. That was an
incorrect solution.

The root cause is that an atomic push operation terminates early without
sending a flush packet to git-receive-pack. As a result,
git-receive-pack continues waiting for commands without exiting. By
sending a flush packet at the appropriate location in "send_pack()", we
ensure that the git-receive-pack process closes properly, avoiding an
erroneous exit code for git-push. At the same time, revert the changes
to the "transport.c" file made in commit 7dcbeaa0df.
