[PATCH v2 16/16] clone: use git protocol for cloning shallow repo locally

clone_local() does not handle $SRC/shallow. It could be made so, but it's simpler to use fetch-pack/upload-pack instead.

This used by be caught by the check in upload-pack, which is triggered by transport_get_remote_refs(), even in local clone case. The check is now gone and check_everything_connected() should catch the result incomplete repo. But check_everything_connected() will soon be skipped in local clone case, opening a door to corrupt repo. This patch should close that door.
