builtin/clone: suppress unexpected default branch advice

In 199f44c (builtin/clone: allow remote helpers to detect repo,
2024-02-27), clones started partially initializing the refdb before
executing the remote helpers by creating a HEAD file and "refs/"
directory. This has resulted in some scenarios where git-clone(1) now
prints the default branch name advice message where it previously did
not.

A side-effect of the HEAD file already existing, is that computation of
the default branch name is handled later in execution. This matters
because prior to 97abaab (refs: drop `git_default_branch_name()`,
2024-05-17), the default branch value would be computed during its first
execution and cached. Subsequent invocations would simply return the
cached value. Since the next `git_default_branch_name()` call site,
which is invoked through `guess_remote_head()`, is not configured to
suppress the advice message, computing the default branch name results
in the advice message being printed.

Configure `guess_remote_head()` to suppress the advice message,
restoring the previous behavior.
