Retroactively adding a filter can be useful for existing shallow clones as
they allow users to see earlier change histories without downloading all
git objects in a regular --unshallow fetch.

Without this patch, users can make a clone partial by editing the
repository configuration to convert the remote into a promisor, like:

  git config core.repositoryFormatVersion 1
  git config extensions.partialClone origin
  git fetch --unshallow --filter=blob:none origin

Since the hard part of making this work is already in place and such
edits can be error-prone, teach Git to perform the required configuration
change automatically instead.

Note that this change does not modify the existing git behavior which
recognizes setting extensions.partialClone without changing
repositoryFormatVersion.

Hmph, I am not sure which part of the above corresponds to the
removal of "in a repository without extensions.partialClone you
cannot use the --filter option" logic.  With or without this patch,
users can butcher $GIT_DIR/config and pretend that the repository
was created with the pertial clone extension from the beginning, but
this step is not about automating those tasks, it seems.
