This RFC series adds support for `git push` to accept a remote group name (as configured via `remotes.<name>` in config) in addition to a single remote name, mirroring the behaviour that `git fetch` has supported for some time.

A user with multiple remotes configured as a group can now do:
    git push all-remotes
instead of pushing to each remote individually, in the same way that:
    git fetch all-remotes
already works.
The series is split into two patches:
  - Patch 1 moves `get_remote_group`, `add_remote_or_group`, and the
    `remote_group_data` struct out of builtin/fetch.c and into
    remote.c/remote.h, making them part of the public remote API.
  - Patch 2 extends builtin/push.c to use the newly public
    `add_remote_or_group()` to resolve the repository argument as
    either a single remote or a group, and pushes to each member of
    the group in turn.
Changes in v5:
- fixed the -Werror=sign-compare in builtin/push.c complaints and also added
  a new commit that fix the remote.h
