api-remote.txt: correct section "struct refspec"
* Replace reference to function parse_ref_spec() with references to functions parse_fetch_refspec() and parse_push_refspec(). * Correct description of src and dst: they *do* include the '*' characters.

struct refspec
--------------
-A struct refspec holds the parsed interpretation of a refspec. If it
-will force updates (starts with a '+'), force is true. If it is a
-pattern (sides end with '*') pattern is true. src and dest are the two
-sides (if a pattern, only the part outside of the wildcards); if there
-is only one side, it is src, and dst is NULL; if sides exist but are
-empty (i.e., the refspec either starts or ends with ':'), the
-corresponding side is "".
-
-This parsing can be done to an array of strings to give an array of
-struct refpsecs with parse_ref_spec().
