Instead of trying to make http://, https://, and ftp:// URLs
indicative of some sort of pattern of transport helper usage, make
them a special case which runs the "curl" helper, and leave the
mechanism by which arbitrary helpers will be chosen entirely to future
work.

This splits up git-http-fetch so that it isn't built-in.
It also removes the general dependency on curl, because it is no
longer used by any built-in code. Because they are no longer LIB_OBJS,
add LIB_H to the dependencies of http-related object files, and remove
http.h from the dependencies of transport.o

transport_get() can call transport_native_helper_init() to have list and
fetch-ref operations handled by running a separate program as:
git remote-<something> <remote> [<url>]
This program then accepts, on its stdin, "list" and "fetch <hex>
<name>" commands; the former prints out a list of available refs and
either their hashes or what they are symrefs to, while the latter
fetches them into the local object database and prints a newline when done.
