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.
Noticed by Teemu Likonen.

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
the remote refs.

This adds special handling for mirror remotes.
