Before implementing a way to fetch bundles into a repository, create the
basic logic. Assume that the URI is actually a file path. Future logic
will make this more careful to other protocols.
For now, we also only succeed if the content at the URI is a bundle
file, not a bundle list. Bundle lists will be implemented in a future
change.
Note that the discovery of a temporary filename is slightly racy because
the odb_mkstemp() relies on the temporary file not existing. With the
current implementation being limited to file copies, we could replace
the copy_file() with copy_fd(). The tricky part comes in future changes
that send the filename to 'git remote-https' and its 'get' capability.
At that point, we need the file descriptor closed _and_ the file
unlinked. If we were to keep the file descriptor open for the sake of
normal file copies, then we would pollute the rest of the code for
little benefit. This is especially the case because we expect that most
bundle URI use will be based on HTTPS instead of file copies.

A future change will want a way to download a file over HTTP(S) using
the simplest of download mechanisms. We do not want to assume that the
server on the other side understands anything about the Git protocol but
could be a simple static web server.
Create the new 'get' capability for the remote helpers which advertises
that the 'get' command is avalable. A caller can send a line containing
'get <url> <path>' to download the file at <url> into the file at
<path>.
