clone: always set transport options
A clone will always create a transport struct, whether we are cloning locally or using an actual protocol. In the local case, we only use the transport to get the list of refs, and then transfer the objects out-of-band. However, there are many options that we do not bother setting up in the local case. For the most part, these are noops, because they only affect the object-fetching stage (e.g., the --depth option). However, some options do have a visible impact. For example, giving the path to upload-pack via "-u" does not currently work for a local clone, even though we need upload-pack to get the ref list. We can just drop the conditional entirely and set these options for both local and non-local clones. Rather than keep track of which options impact the object versus the ref fetching stage, we can simply let the noops be noops (and the cost of setting the options in the first place is not high). The one exception is that we also check that the transport provides both a "get_refs_list" and a "fetch" method. We will now be checking the former for both cases (which is good, since a transport that cannot fetch refs would not work for a local clone), and we tweak the conditional to check for a "fetch" only when we are non-local.
