Merge branch 'jk/maint-clone-shared-no-connectivity-validation'

"git clone -s/-l" is a filesystem level copy and does not offer any
protection against source repository being corrupt.  While the
connectivity validation checks commits and trees being readable, it
made the otherwise instantaneous local modes of clone much more
expensive, without protecting blob data from bitflips.

  clone: drop connectivity check for local clones
