[PATCH v2 15/23] fetch, remote: properly convey --no-prune options to subprocesses

If --no-prune is passed to one of the following commands:
    git fetch --all
    git fetch --multiple
    git fetch --recurse-submodules
    git remote update

then it must also be passed to the "fetch" subprocesses that those commands use to do their work. Otherwise there might be a fetch.prune or remote.<name>.prune configuration setting that causes pruning to occur, contrary to the user's express wish.
