transport: list refs before fetch if necessary

The built-in bundle transport and the transport helper interface do not
work when transport_fetch_refs() is called immediately after transport
creation. This will be needed in a subsequent patch, so fix this.

Evidence: fetch_refs_from_bundle() relies on data->header being
initialized in get_refs_from_bundle(), and fetch() in transport-helper.c
relies on either data->fetch or data->import being set by get_helper(),
but neither transport_helper_init() nor fetch() calls get_helper().

Up until the introduction of the partial clone feature, this has not
been a problem, because transport_fetch_refs() is always called after
transport_get_remote_refs(). With the introduction of the partial clone
feature, which involves calling transport_fetch_refs() (to fetch objects
by their OIDs) without transport_get_remote_refs(), this is still not a
problem, but only coincidentally - we do not support partially cloning a
bundle, and as for cloning using a transport-helper-using protocol, it
so happens that before transport_fetch_refs() is called, fetch_refs() in
fetch-object.c calls transport_set_option(), which means that the
aforementioned get_helper() is invoked through set_helper_option() in
transport-helper.c.

This could be fixed by fixing the transports themselves, but it doesn't
seem like a good idea to me to open up previously untested code paths;
also, there may be transport helpers in the wild that assume that "list"
is always called before "fetch". Instead, fix this by having
transport_fetch_refs() call transport_get_remote_refs() to ensure that
the latter is always called at least once, unless the transport
explicitly states that it supports fetching without listing refs.
