Allow git-remote to update named groups of remotes
In response to a feature request from Shawn Pearce, this patch allows a user to update a named group of remotes by using "git remote update <group>", where the group is defined in the config file by remotes.<group>. The default if the named group is not specified is now fetched group remotes.default, instead of remote.fetch, which is what had been previously used. In addition, if remotes.default is not defined, all remotes defined in the config file will be used, as before, but there is now also possible to request that a particular repository to be skipped by default by using the boolean configuration parameter remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate.
