[PATCH 1/4] git_connect: extend to take a pseudo format string for the program to run

<1461852759-28429-1-git-send-email-mh@glandium.org>

Currently, the path extracted from the url is passed as last argument to the program/command passed to git_connect(). In every case the function is used in the git code base, it's enough, but in order to allow the reuse of e.g. the GIT_SSH/GIT_SSH_COMMAND logic, additional flexibility is welcome.

With this change, when the program/command passed to git_connect() contains a "%s", that "%s" is replaced with the path from the url, allowing the path to be at a different position than last on the executed command line.
