promisor-remote: teach lazy-fetch in any repo

This is one step towards supporting partial clone submodules.

Even after this patch, we will still lack partial clone submodules
support, primarily because a lot of Git code that accesses submodule
objects does so by adding their object stores as alternates, meaning
that any lazy fetches that would occur in the submodule would be done
based on the config of the superproject, not of the submodule. This also
prevents testing of the functionality in this patch by user-facing
commands. So for now, test this mechanism using a test helper.

Besides that, there is some code that uses the wrapper functions
like has_promisor_remote(). Those will need to be checked to see if they
could support the non-wrapper functions instead (and thus support any
repository, not just the_repository).
