Michael Haggerty f096e6e826 fetch: improve the error messages emitted for conflicting refspecs
If we find two refspecs that want to update the same local reference,
emit an error message that is more informative based on whether one of
the conflicting refspecs is an opportunistic update during a fetch
with explicit command-line refspecs.  And especially, do not die if an
opportunistic reference update conflicts with an express wish of the
user; rather, just emit a warning and skip the opportunistic reference
update.

Michael Haggerty 2071e05ed2 t5536: new test of refspec conflicts when fetching
Add some tests that "git fetch" handles refspec conflicts (i.e., when
the same local reference should be updated from two different remote
references) correctly.

There is a small bug when updating references opportunistically,
namely that an explicit user wish like

    git fetch origin \
        refs/heads/branch1:refs/remotes/origin/branch2 \
        refs/heads/branch2:refs/remotes/origin/branch1

should override a configured refspec like

    +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

The current code incorrectly treats this as a fatal error.

In a few commits we will improve the error messages for refspec
conflicts in general and also turn this buggy fatal error into a
warning.
