It's surprising that `git clone` and `git init && git remote add -f` don't
create the same remote state.

Fix this by introducing a new configuration: `fetch.updateHead` which updates
the remote `HEAD` when it's not present with "missing", or always with
"always".

By default it's "never", which retains the current behavior.

This has already been discussed before [1].
