ls-remote: add support for showing symrefs
Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository
without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by
looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git
doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote
repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref
command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs
in the remote repository.
While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make
it more obvious to the reader.
