From: Sean Barag <sean@xxxxxxxxx>
While the default remote name of `origin` can be overridden both
pre-clone (with `git clone --origin foo`) and post-clone (with `git
remote rename origin foo`), it'd be handy to have a configurable
system-wide default for clones! This commit implements
`remote.cloneDefault` as a parallel to `remote.pushDefault`,
with prioritized name resolution:
1. (Highest priority) `git clone`'s `-o` option
2. `git config`'s `remote.cloneDefault` value
3. `origin`
There should be no impact for existing users, as it's pretty unlikely
that anyone's already configured `remote.cloneDefault` and the porcelain
hasn't changed (as best I can tell at least!).

clone: add remote.cloneDefault config option
