This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that,
when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that
remote.

Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote
add --mirror'.

The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option.  Since I was touching related
code, I did this fix too.

[jc: and I further fixed up the "ignore boolean" code.]

This can happen if the arguments to git-remote add is switched by the
user, and git would only show an error if fetching was also requested.
Fix it by using the refspec parsing engine to check if the requested
name can be parsed as a remote before add it.

Also cleanup so that the "remote.<name>.url" config name buffer is only
initialized once.

Many other commands use the "no arguments" form to show a
list (e.g., git-branch, git-tag). While we did show all
remotes for just "git remote", we displayed a usage error
for "git remote show" with no arguments. This is
counterintuitive, since by giving it _more_ information, we
get _less_ result.

The usage model can now be thought of as:

  - "git remote show <remote>": show a remote
  - "git remote show": show all remotes
  - "git remote": assume "show"; i.e., shorthand for "git remote show"

Without this the output of 'git remote show' does not end with a new-line:

bash> git remote show repo

  Tracked remote branches
    maint master mob
  Local branch pushed with 'git push'

For symbolic refs, a sane notion of being "stale" is that the ref
they point to no longer exists.  Since this is checked already,
"remote show" does not need to show them at all.

Incidentally, this fixes the issue that "HEAD" was shown as a
stale ref by "remote show" in a freshly cloned repository.

When the other end has dangling symref, "git fetch" issues an error
message but that is not grave enough to cause the fetch process to fail.
As the result, the user will see something like this:

    $ git remote update
    error: refs/heads/2.0-uobjects points nowhere!

"remote update" used to report which remote it is fetching from, like
this:

    $ git remote update
    Updating core
    Updating matthieu
    error: refs/heads/2.0-uobjects points nowhere!
    Updating origin

This reinstates the message "Updating <name>" in "git remote update".

"git remote add" can add a symbolic ref "HEAD", and "rm" should delete
it, too.

The rewrite in C inadvertently broke updating with remote groups: when you
pass parameters to "git remote update", it used to look up "remotes.<group>"
for every parameter, and interpret the value as a list of remotes to update.

Also, no parameter, or a single parameter "default" should update all
remotes that have not been marked with "skipDefaultUpdate".

Like in ls-remote, we have to disconnect the transport after getting
