repo-settings: rename the traditional default fetch.negotiationAlgorithm

Give the traditional default fetch.negotiationAlgorithm the name
'consecutive'.  Also allow a choice of 'default' to have Git decide
between the choices (currently, picking 'skipping' if
feature.experimental is true and 'consecutive' otherwise).  Update the
documentation accordingly.
