fetch: fetch from an external bundle URI

When a user specifies a URI via 'git clone --bundle-uri', that URI may
be a bundle list that advertises a 'bundle.heuristic' value. In that
case, the Git client stores a 'fetch.bundleURI' config value storing
that URI.

Teach 'git fetch' to check for this config value and download bundles
from that URI before fetching from the Git remote(s). Likely, the bundle
provider has configured a heuristic (such as "creationToken") that will
allow the Git client to download only a portion of the bundles before
continuing the fetch.

Since this URI is completely independent of the remote server, we want
to be sure that we connect to the bundle URI before creating a
connection to the Git remote. We do not want to hold a stateful
connection for too long if we can avoid it.

To test that this works correctly, extend the previous tests that set
'fetch.bundleURI' to do follow-up fetches. The bundle list is updated
incrementally at each phase to demonstrate that the heuristic avoids
downloading older bundles. This includes the middle fetch downloading
the objects in bundle-3.bundle from the Git remote, and therefore not
needing that bundle in the third fetch.
