[PATCH] remote: add 'rm' subcommand

From: James Bowes <jbowes@dangerouslyinc.com>

Message-ID: <11810859232541-git-send-email-jbowes@dangerouslyinc.com>

Introduce git-remote rm <name> which will:
 - Remove the remote config entry for <name>.
 - Remove any config entries for tracking branches of <name>.
 - Remove any stored remote branches of <name>.

Here's a quick patch to implement the reverse of 'git-remote add', as was asked about recently on the list[1]. Tested minimally with a collection of on-disk repositories.

If there is any interest in this, I'll follow up later with additions to the docs.
