[PATCH v3 4/4] remote: use remote_is_configured() for add and rename

Both remote add and remote rename use a slightly different hand-rolled check if the remote exits. The hand-rolled check may have some subtle cases in which it might fail to detect when a remote already exists. One such case was fixed in fb86e32 ("git remote: allow adding remotes agreeing with url.<...>.insteadOf"). Another case is when a remote is configured as follows:

  [remote "foo"]
    vcs = bar

If we try to run `git remote add foo bar` with the above remote configuration, git segfaults. This change fixes it.

In addition, git remote rename $existing foo with the configuration for foo as above silently succeeds, even though foo already exists, modifying its configuration. With this patch it fails with "remote foo already exists".
