[PATCH v2] remote: make prune work for mixed mirror/non-mirror repos

When cloning a repo with --mirror, and adding more remotes later, get_stale_heads for origin would mark all refs from other repos as stale. In this situation, with refs-src and refs->dst both equal to refs/*, we should ignore refs/remotes/* and refs/tags/* when looking for stale refs to prevent this from happening.

 The previous attempt only ignored refs/remotes, but that's not good enough as
 that will still delete tags. So let's ignore refs/tags too. The downside is
 that tags removed at the origin don't get removed, but prune should only be
 pruning branches anyway if I read the documentation correctly.
