Merge pull request git-for-windows#228: "gvfs-helper prefetch" during "git fetch"
This is a follow-up to git-for-windows#227. 1. When a new flag is added to our Git config, we can run `gvfs-helper prefetch` inside of our `git fetch` calls. This will help ensure we have updated commits and trees even if the background prefetches have fallen behind (or are not running). 2. With a new `--no-update-remote-refs` we can avoid updating the `refs/remotes` namespace. This will allow us to run `git fetch --all --no-update-remote-refs +refs/heads/*:refs/hidden/*` and we will get the new refs into a local folder (that doesn't appear anywhere). The most important thing is that users will still see when their remote refs update.
