[PATCH v2 08/13] Write local refs written by the "import" helper command only once

At clone time the "import" helper command has already written a packfile with all refs, so write_remote_refs will create a duplicate entry for each ref returned by wanted_peer_refs. Prevent this duplication by setting fetched_refs_written in the transport when executing the "import" helper command and only adding the extra refs if it is not set.

	I am not 100% sure this is the proper fix, but I do know that
	without this I get a .git/packed-refs file that has duplicate
	entries in it.
