When compiled with -Og, the build emits -Wmaybe-uninitialized. Fix
these.

- fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized with -Og
+ remote: bail early from set_head() if missing remote name
- When building with -Og on gcc 15.1.1, the build produces two warnings.
- Even though in practice, these codepaths can't actually be hit while the
- variables are uninitialized, satisfy the compiler by initializing the
- variables.
+ In "git remote set-head", we can take varying numbers of arguments
+ depending on whether we saw the "-d" or "-a" options. But the first
+ argument is always the remote name.
- This also acts as defensive programming since these codepaths are a
- little bit spaghetti. If someone in the future makes a mistake and
- causes the branch with the uninitialized variable to be hit, at least we
- won't experience undefined behaviour.
+ The current code is somewhat awkward in that it conditionally handles
+ the remote name up-front like this:
+
+ if (argc)
+ remote = ...from argv[0]...
+
+ and then only later decides to bail if we do not have the right number
+ of arguments for the options we saw.
+
+ This makes it hard to figure out if "remote" is always set when it needs
+ to be. Both for humans, but also for compilers; with -Og, gcc complains
+ that "remote" can be accessed without being initialized (although this
+ is not true, as we'd always die with a usage message in that case).
+
+ Let's instead enforce the presence of the remote argument up front,
+ which fixes the compiler warning and is easier to understand. It does
+ mean duplicating the code to print a usage message, but it's a single
+ line.
