  1. remote: allow specifying refs to prefetch 

    When using 'git fetch --prefetch', all fetchable refs are prefetched
by default. In large repositories with many refs, this can lead to
unnecessary network traffic and increased disk space use.

Introduce a new configuration option 'remote.<name>.prefetchref' that
allows users to specify specific ref patterns to be prefetched during
a 'git fetch --prefetch' operation.

The 'prefetchref' option accepts a space-separated list of ref
patterns (e.g., 'refs/heads/main !refs/heads/feature/*'). When the
'--prefetch' option is used with 'git fetch', only the refs matching
these patterns will be prefetched.
