dup() the input fd for fast-import used for remote helpers

When a remote helper exposes the "import" capability, stdout of the
helper is sent to stdin of a new fast-import process. This is done by
setting the corresponding child_process's in field to the value of the
out field of the helper child_process.

The child_process API is defined to close the file descriptors it's
given when calling start_command. This means when start_command is
called for the fast-import process, its input fd (the output fd of the
helper), is closed.

But when the transport helper is later destroyed, in disconnect_helper,
its input and output are closed, which means close() is called with
an invalid fd (since it was already closed as per above). Or worse, with
a valid fd owned by something else (since fd numbers can be reused).
