[06/19] refspec: remove global tag refspec structure

Commit Message

We have a global tag refspec structure that is used by both git-clone(1)
and git-fetch(1). Initialization fo the structure will break once we
enable `-Wwrite-strings`, even though the breakage is harmless. While we
could just add casts, the structure isn't really required in the first
place as we can simply initialize the structures at the respective
callsites.

Refactor the code accordingly.

Regardless of the constness issue, replacing these hardcoded
initializer values that is an accident waiting to happen with a call
to refspec_item_init() is very much welcomed.

Unless parse_refspec() is an immensely high cost operation, which it
isn't.
