Cover letter [PATCH v5 0/3] remote.c: remove erroneous BUG case

In the case where one pushes a non-existent oid to an unqualified destination, we encounter the following BUG

error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e., starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:

- Looking for a ref that matches 'branch' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('0000000000000000000000000000000000000001') is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.

Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
BUG: remote.c:1221: '0000000000000000000000000000000000000001' should be commit/tag/tree/blob, is '-1'
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Aborted (core dumped)

However, this isn't actually a bug so replace it with an advise() message.

Changes since v4:

* Put the switch statement refactoring patch last so that we don't get compile errors from a missing variable

Changes since v3:

* Include the switch statement refactoring patch as a prelude to the functional patch
* Change "if-else tower" to "if-else ladder"
* Shortened the overly long advise() line
* Rebased on latest 'master' to avoid merge conflict introduced earlier in the merge cycle (this should be fine since we haven't merged to 'next' yet right?)

Changes since v2:

* Add t5516 cleanup patch
* Squash test creation patch into the patch that fixes it
* Include the erroneous object ID in the advise message
