Add a recipe for git clone --mirror

It's not necessarily obvious how to perform a mirror, so add a recipe
which tells what git does as well as provide example code of how to
perform the same steps in pygit2.

**********************************************************************
git-clone --mirror
**********************************************************************
git provides an argument to set up the repository as a mirror, which
involves setting the refspec to one which copies all refs and a mirror
option for push in the remote.
.. code-block:: bash
$> git clone --mirror https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2
.. code-block:: python
def init_remote(repo, name, url):
# Create the remote with a mirroring url
remote = repo.remotes.create(name, url, "+refs/*:refs/*")
# And set the configuration option to true for the push command
mirror_var = "remote.{}.mirror".format(name)
repo.config[mirror_var] = True
# Return the remote, which pygit2 will use to perform the clone
return remote
print("Cloning pygit2 as mirror")
pygit2.clone_repository("https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2", "pygit2.git", bare=True,
remote=init_remote)
