fetch: allow explicit --refmap to override configurationjc/fetch-push-refmap
Since the introduction of opportunisitic updates of remote-tracking branches, started at around f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs, 2013-05-11) with a few updates in v1.8.4 era, the remote.*.fetch configuration always kicks in even when a refspec to specify what to fetch is given on the command line, and there is no way to disable or override it per-invocation. Teach the command to pay attention to the --refmap=<lhs>:<rhs> command-line options that can be used to override the use of configured remote.*.fetch as the refmap.
