builtin/push: call set_refspecs after validating remote
When an end-user runs "git push" with an empty string for the remote repository name, e.g. $ git push '' main "git push" fails with a BUG(). Even though this is a nonsense request that we want to fail, we shouldn't hit a BUG(). Instead we want to give a sensible error message, e.g., 'bad repository'". This is because since 9badf97c42 (remote: allow resetting url list, 2024-06-14), we reset the remote URL if the provided URL is empty. When a user of 'remotes_remote_get' tries to fetch a remote with an empty repo name, the function initializes the remote via 'make_remote'. But the remote is still not a valid remote, since the URL is empty, so it tries to add the URL alias using 'add_url_alias'. This in-turn will call 'add_url', but since the URL is empty we call 'strvec_clear' on the `remote->url`. Back in 'remotes_remote_get', we again check if the remote is valid, which fails, so we return 'NULL' for the 'struct remote *' value. The 'builtin/push.c' code, calls 'set_refspecs' before validating the remote. This worked with empty repo names earlier since we would get a remote, albeit with an empty URL. With the new changes, we get a 'NULL' remote value, this causes the check for remote to fail and raises the BUG in 'set_refspecs'. Do a simple fix by doing remote validation first. Also add a test to validate the bug fix. With this, we can also now directly pass remote to 'set_refspecs' instead of it trying to lazily obtain it.
