Removing core dependency on NO_CURL is required for that. 6/8 is one
way to do that given support for dispatching <scheme>:// to remote
helpers (1/8).

See above. There's also issues with git remote helper execution, namely
inability to properly handle failure before cap exchange.

With properly fixed main git binary, it is just matter of splitting
remote-xxx executable(s) relating to HTTP to seperate package.
