When a repository does not exist on a remote, Gitaly won't be able to
clone it. This is correct behaviour, but from the clients perspective a
change in behaviour.
This change implements the client side changes that allows Gitaly to
execute a `git ls-remote <remote-url> HEAD`. This way the client has no
need to shell out to Git.
In the situation where multiple Gitalies are available, one is chosen at
random.
