Update the origin's HEAD as a symbolic reference pointing to the origin's default branch at clone time. This involves populating
refs/remotes/origin/HEADas a symref torefs/remotes/origin/<default>.It looks like the machinery was almost there to do this, so either we did this once and regressed due to lack of testing, or it was just never completed. In either case, I hoisted the incomplete pieces into their own function, finished it up, and included a test.
Fixes #5646
