negotiator/noop: add noop fetch negotiator

Add a noop fetch negotiator. This is introduced to allow partial clones
to skip the unneeded negotiation step when fetching missing objects
using a "git fetch" subprocess. (The implementation of spawning a "git
fetch" subprocess will be done in a subsequent patch.) But this can also
be useful for end users, e.g. as a blunt fix for object corruption.
