[PATCH 0/2] remote: replace static variables with struct remote_state

This series aims to make the remotes subsystem work with non-the_repository, which will allow submodule remotes to be accessed in-process, rather than through child processes. This is accomplished by creating a struct remote_state and adding it to struct repository.

One motivation for this is that it allows future submodule commands to run in-process. An example is an RFC series of mine [1], where I tried to implement "git branch --recurse-submodules" in-process but couldn't figure out how to read the remotes of a submodule.

For the most part, this was a mechanical process of taking static variables and putting them in a struct. As such, I think this series might benefit from thoughtful review, especially from people with more insight into this area. Some areas I am extra concerned about are:

 * Naming, especially the renaming of variables in patch 1 and the field
   names in patch 2. I don't really like the name "remote_state", but I
   can't think of a better one.
 * Memory leaks - I am not confident that remote_state_clear() frees all of
   the memory that it should. I tried to eliminate as many leaks as I could
   with "make SANITIZE=address,leak", but I'm not confident that I've caught
   them all.
