Philip Withnall 144e325579 init: Add a --collection-id argument to the built-in init command
This allows new repositories to be configured with a collection ID which
can be used to uniquely identify refs which originated from this
repository.

<listitem><para>
Set the collection ID of the repository. Remotes in clones
of this repository must configure the same value in order to
pull refs which originated in this repository over peer to
peer.</para>
<para>This collection ID must be persistent and globally
unique. It is formatted as a reverse DNS name (like a D-Bus
interface). It must be set to a reverse DNS domain under your
control.</para>
<para>This option may be omitted (the default) to leave
peer to peer distribution unsupported for the repository. A
collection ID may be added to an existing repository in
future to enable peer to peer distribution from that point
onwards.</para>
<para>If the collection ID is changed for the repository
in future, peer to peer distribution of refs from the
repository will break for all peers who do not update their
remote configuration to the new collection ID.
