Bring local clone's origin URL in line with that of a remote clone

On a local clone, "git clone" would use the fully DWIMmed path as the origin
URL in the resulting repo. This was slightly inconsistent with the case of a
remote clone where the _given_ URL was used as the origin URL (because the
DWIMming was done remotely, and was therefore not available to "git clone").

This behaviour caused problems when cloning a local non-bare repo with
relative submodule URLs, because these submodule URLs would then be resolved
against the DWIMmed URL (e.g. "/repo/.git") instead of the given URL (e.g.
"/repo").

This patch teaches "git clone" to use the _given_ URL - instead of the
DWIMmed path - as the origin URL. This causes relative submodule URLs to be
resolved correctly, as long the _given_ URL indicates the correct directory
against which the submodule URLs should be resolved.

The patch also updates a testcase that contained the old-style origin URLs.
