Add a new 'remote.<name>.negotiationInclude' multi-valued config option that
provides default values for --negotiation-include when no
--negotiation-include arguments are specified over the command line.  This
is a mirror of how 'remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict' specifies defaults
for the --negotiation-restrict arguments.

Each value is either an exact ref name or a glob pattern whose tips should
always be sent as 'have' lines during negotiation. The config values are
resolved through the same resolve_negotiation_include() codepath as the CLI
options.

This option is additive with the normal negotiation process: the negotiation
algorithm still runs and advertises its own selected commits, but the refs
matching the config are sent unconditionally on top of those heuristically
selected commits.

Similar to the negotiationRestrict config, an empty value resets the value
list to allow ignoring earlier config values, such as those that might be
set in system or global config.

+remote.<name>.negotiationInclude::
+       When negotiating with this remote during `git fetch` and `git push`,

+       repos with many references, this list of "haves" can be truncated.
+       Depending on data shape, dropping certain references may be
+       expensive.  This multi-valued config option specifies ref patterns
+       whose tips should always be sent as "have" commits during fetch

+Each value is either an exact ref name (e.g. `refs/heads/release`) or a

+These config values are used as defaults for the `--negotiation-include`
