fetch: skip tasks related to fetching objects

cmd_fetch() does the following with the assumption that objects are
fetched:

* Run gc
* Write commit graphs (if enabled by fetch.writeCommitGraph=true)

However, neither of these tasks makes sense if objects are not fetched
e.g. `git fetch --negotiate-only` never fetches objects.

Speed up cmd_fetch() by bailing out early if we know for certain that
objects will not be fetched. cmd_fetch() can bail out early whenever
objects are not fetched, but for now this only considers
--negotiate-only.

The same optimization does not apply to `git fetch --dry-run` because
that actually fetches objects; the dry run refers to not updating refs.
