remote: introduce `git_remote_connect_options`
The existing mechanism for providing options to remote fetch/push calls,
and subsequently to transports, is unsatisfactory. It requires an
options structure to avoid breaking the API and callback signatures.
1. Introduce `git_remote_connect_options` to satisfy those needs.
2. Add a new remote connection API, `git_remote_connect_ext` that will
take this new options structure. Existing `git_remote_connect` calls
will proxy to that. `git_remote_fetch` and `git_remote_push` will
proxy their fetch/push options to that as well.
3. Define the interaction between `git_remote_connect` and fetch/push.
Connect _may_ be called before fetch/push, but _need not_ be. The
semantics of which options would be used for these operations was
not specified if you specify options for both connect _and_ fetch.
Now these are defined that the fetch or push options will be used
_if_ they were specified. Otherwise, the connect options will be
used if they were specified. Otherwise, the library's defaults will
be used.
4. Update the transports to understand `git_remote_connect_options`.
This is a breaking change to the systems API.
