[PATCH v4 17/21] clone: allow ref storage backend to be set for clone

[David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>]

Add a new option, --ref-storage, to allow the ref storage backend to
be set on new clones.

Submodules must use the same ref storage as the parent repository, so
we also pass the --ref-storage option option when cloning
submodules.
