Shell out to `git`, avoiding using `git2`. This is to avoid an
issue where somewhere within the fetch there is an attempt to lookup a
`rad/sigrefs` object, which says that the object is missing. It is
suspected that this is due to the object being localised in the same
packfile as other objects we are fetching. Since the `rad/sigrefs`
object is never needed nor used in the working copy, this will always
result in the object missing. This seems to only be an issue with
`libgit2`/`git2` and not `git` itself.

This adds the ability to the git-remote-helper to open and update
patches via a `git push` to the magic ref `refs/patches` and
`refs/heads/patches/<patch-id>`.
The main change is that we had to move away from offering the `connect`
capability in the remote helper, to offering `push` and `fetch`
individually.
To get a feel for how this works, see the `rad-patch-via-push.md`
example.
