Adding the --set-upstream option to git pull/fetch
which lets the user set the upstream configuration
for the current branch.
For example a typical use-case like
git clone http://example.com/my-public-fork
git remote add main http://example.com/project-main-repo
git pull main master --set-upstream
or, instead of the last line
git fetch main master --set-upstream
git merge # or git rebase
This foncionality works like git push --set-upstream.

At the moment it works on overall but we'd like to have the
community feedback about:
* We decide to add the set-upstream as an argument for both git pull
and git fetch but we can also implement the set-upstream argument
in git fetch or in git pull only.
* We took the ref_map entry which fetches locally to FETCH_HEAD
as the new current branch's config because git fetch store the
remote-tracking branch into FETCH_HEAD before call git merge.
Or about things we missed and things we could improve.
