[PATCHv2 5/8] t7201.24: Add refspec to keep --track working

We are formalizing a requirement that any remote-tracking branch to be used as an upstream (i.e. as an argument to --track), _must_ "belong" to a configured remote by being matched by the "dst" side of a fetch refspec.

Without this patch, this test would start failing when the new behavior is introduced.
