When cloning a local repository with "--shared" we add that repository
to the new repository's alternates. This is done in `clone_local()`,
which is responsible for performing local clones.

Move the logic into `collect_alternates()` to unify our setup of
alternates. Furthermore, this will allow us to set up alternates right
at creation time of the object database.

Note that the logic for cloning a local repository with "--no-shared" is
not yet part of `collect_alternates()`. This will be handled in the next
commit.

Could this condtional instead be:

  if (is_local && option_shared)
