[PATCH] clone: Remove constraint on --bare and --origin

STALE1890d

This test has been present since long before clone was ported to C. Now
there is no need for it, and since df61c88979 (clone: also configure url
for bare clones, 2010-03-29) it's especially useful to allow both
options.

A question on this constraint popped up on #git the other day. I
investigated a bit and found no particular reason for its existence. All
tests still pass (except the one removed here) and the behavior is as
expected. I realize it might have gone under the radar for 11 years but
it's still worth the noise to remove it, in my opinion.

I wanted to include a bit on the reasoning for the original check in the
commit message but I couldn't find it.
