When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an
error, we print a message indicating that the helper died.
However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use
(e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote
helper is.
Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https");
this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and
provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for
more information (e.g., in manpages).
