Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.

So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.

For example:

$ git cat-file -p N

would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.

With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:

$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N

While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

* db/vcs-helper:
  Makefile: remove remnant of separate http/https/ftp helpers
  Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers
  Make the "traditionally-supported" URLs a special case
  Makefile: install hardlinks for git-remote-<scheme> supported by libcurl if possible
  Makefile: do not link three copies of git-remote-* programs
  Makefile: git-http-fetch does not need expat
  http-fetch: Fix Makefile dependancies
  Add transport native helper executables to .gitignore
  git-http-fetch: not a builtin
  Use an external program to implement fetching with curl
  Add support for external programs for handling native fetches

It's now similar wrapped the same way as in Documentation/git.txt, and
fits in a 67 characters wide terminal.

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

  Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()
  die_errno(): double % in strerror() output just in case
  Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()

In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the
caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case
but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).

With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is
one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to
struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.
