[PATCH jk/pkt-line-cleanup] t5700-clone-reference: send trace to fd 2, not 3, to please Windows git

From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

Two tests use GIT_TRACE=3 to dump debugging information of git. On Windows, however, bash is unable to set up file descriptor 3 correctly for its child process, so that git reports "Bad file descriptor" on every trace attempt. The 'git clone' test succeeds nevertheless because an empty trace file remains, and there is only a check for the absence of a particular line. But the 'git fetch' process ultimately hangs (the dynamics that lead to this surprising result have not been investigated).

Since we do not otherwise use stderr in the test cases, divert the trace dump to stderr.
