Existing "git push --all" is almost perfect for backing up to
another repository, except that "--all" only means "all
branches" in modern git, and it does not delete old branches and
tags that exist at the back-up repository that you have removed
from your local repository.
This teaches "git-send-pack" a new "--mirror" option. The
difference from the "--all" option are that (1) it sends all
refs, not just branches, and (2) it deletes old refs you no
longer have on the local side from the remote side.

When pushing to overwrite a ref that points at a commit we do
not even have, the recent "terse push" patch tried to get a
unique abbreviation for the non-existent (from our point of
view) object, which resulted in strcpy(buf, NULL) and
segfaulted.

This is really an uninteresting detail, and it just takes
attention away from the actual push updates and posssible
errors.

This changes the output of send-pack to match the new,
more terse fetch output. It looks like this:
To git://host.tld/path/to/repo
+ f3325dc...3b91d1c hasforce -> mirror/hasforce (forced update)
f3325dc..bb022dc master -> mirror/master
! [rejected] needsforce -> mirror/needsforce (non-fast forward)
* [new branch] newbranch -> mirror/newbranch
* [new tag] v1.0 -> v1.0
instead of:

Maybe you are not up-to-date and need to pull first?

Also marks some more things as const, as needed.
