[PATCH/RFC] Add support for push globbed refspecs

[Andy Parkins]

Just as we now have glob support in fetch refspecs, this patch adds
support for globs in the push refspecs.  In other words you can do:

[remote "globs"]
	url = proto://host/repo.git
	push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/from_me/*

With this, a git-push will then do a normal directory glob on the local
ref path; whatever it finds will have the matching part extracted and
inserted into the remote half of the refspec.

Note the following:
 - subdirectories aren't supported
 - globs with more than one "*" will probably go /very/ wrong

I'm not sure this is the right way to have done this.

My feeling is that perhaps a for_each_ref() call and some string
manipulation would have been better.  What'd you all reckon?
