When an end-user runs "git push" with an empty string for the remote
repository name, e.g.
$ git push '' main
"git push" fails with a BUG(). Even though this is a nonsense request
that we want to fail, we shouldn't hit a BUG(). Instead we want to give
a sensible error message, e.g., 'bad repository'".
This is because since 9badf97c42 (remote: allow resetting url list,
2024-06-14), we reset the remote URL if the provided URL is empty. When
a user of 'remotes_remote_get' tries to fetch a remote with an empty
repo name, the function initializes the remote via 'make_remote'. But
the remote is still not a valid remote, since the URL is empty, so it
tries to add the URL alias using 'add_url_alias'. This in-turn will call
'add_url', but since the URL is empty we call 'strvec_clear' on the
`remote->url`. Back in 'remotes_remote_get', we again check if the
remote is valid, which fails, so we return 'NULL' for the 'struct
remote *' value.
The 'builtin/push.c' code, calls 'set_refspecs' before validating the
remote. This worked with empty repo names earlier since we would get a
remote, albeit with an empty URL. With the new changes, we get a 'NULL'
remote value, this causes the check for remote to fail and raises the
BUG in 'set_refspecs'.
Do a simple fix by doing remote validation first. Also add a test to
validate the bug fix. With this, we can also now directly pass remote to
'set_refspecs' instead of it trying to lazily obtain it.

Fix a memory leak that's been with us since this code was added in
ca02465b41 (push: use remote.$name.push as a refmap, 2013-12-03).
The "remote = remote_get(...)" added in the same commit would seem to
leak based only on the context here, but that function is a wrapper
for sticking the remotes we fetch into "the_repository->remote_state".
See fd3cb0501e (remote: move static variables into per-repository
struct, 2021-11-17) for the addition of code in repository.c that
free's the "remote" allocated here.

Carefully excluding t5526, which sees independent development elsewhere
at the time of writing, we use `main` as the default branch name in
t55[23]*. This trick was performed via
$ (cd t &&
sed -i -e 's/master/main/g' -e 's/MASTER/MAIN/g' \
-e 's/Master/Main/g' -e 's/naster/nain/g' -- \
t55[23]*.sh &&
git checkout HEAD -- t5526\*)
Note that t5533 contains a variation of the name `master` (`naster`)
that we rename here, too.
This commit allows us to define
`GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main` for that range of tests.

When pushing, we do not even look at our push refspecs until
after we have made contact with the remote receive-pack and
gotten its list of refs. This means that we may go to some
work, including asking the user to log in, before realizing
we have simple errors like "git push origin matser".
We cannot catch all refspec problems, since fully evaluating
the refspecs requires knowing what the remote side has. But
we can do a quick sanity check of the local side and catch a
few simple error cases.
