Merge branch 'rc/fetch-refetch'

"git fetch --refetch" learned to fetch everything without telling
the other side what we already have, which is useful when you
cannot trust what you have in the local object store.

* rc/fetch-refetch:
  docs: mention --refetch fetch option
  fetch: after refetch, encourage auto gc repacking
  t5615-partial-clone: add test for fetch --refetch
  fetch: add --refetch option
  builtin/fetch-pack: add --refetch option
  fetch-pack: add refetch
  fetch-negotiator: add specific noop initializer
