sync: make --prune the default

If a remote deletes a ref, and it points to an object that doesn't
exist locally, we can get into a bad state, and the only way for the
user to recover is to run `repo sync --prune` (and to know that is
the option they need).  The error message is not helpful:

fatal: bad object refs/remotes/cros/firmware-zork-13421.B-master
error: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec did not send all necessary objects

This situation can also come up when the remote renames refs in a
UNIX FS incompatible way.  For example, replacing refs/heads/foo
with refs/heads/foo/bar.

Also add a --no-prune option for users to disable the behavior.
