Add DWYM support for pushing a ref in refs/remotes/* when the <dst>
ref is unqualified, e.g.:

    git push origin refs/remotes/origin/master:upstream-master

Before this we wouldn't know what do do with
refs/remotes/origin/master, now we'll look it up and discover that
it's a commit (or tag) and add a refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix to <dst> as
appropriate.

I'm bending over backwards and assuming that someone might have hacked
in remote tracking tags (see [1] for a discussion of how that can be
done), but punting on any tree or blob objects found under
refs/remotes/*.

This is the first use of the %N$<fmt> style of printf format in
the *.[ch] files in our codebase, but it's supported by POSIX[2] and
there's existing uses for it in po/*.po files, so hopefully it won't
cause any trouble. It's more obvious for translators than to have a
3rd argument to the function identical to the 2nd, by re-using the 2nd
it's clear that we're continuing to talk about the <src> part of the
refspec.
