[PATCH v5 2/3] promisor-remote: fix possible issue when no URL is advertised

In the 'KnownUrl' case, in should_accept_remote(), let's check that `remote_url` is not NULL before we use strcmp() to compare it with the local URL. This could avoid crashes if a server starts to not advertise any URL in the future.

If `remote_url` is NULL, we should reject the URL. Let's also warn in this case because we warn otherwise when a remote is rejected to try to help diagnose things at the end of the function.

And while we are checking that remote_url is not NULL and warning if it is, it makes sense to also help diagnose the case where remote_url is empty.

Also while at it, let's spell "URL" with uppercase letters in all the warnings.
