Subject: [PATCH v3 4/8] promisor-remote: add 'local_name' to 'struct promisor_info'

From: Christian Couder <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 17:38:04 +0200

In a following commit, we will store promisor remote information under
a remote name different than the one the server advertised.

To prepare for this change, let's add a new 'char *local_name' member
to 'struct promisor_info', and let's update the related functions.

While at it, let's also add a small promisor_info_internal_name()
helper that returns `local_name` when set, `name` otherwise, and let's
use this small helper in promisor_store_advertised_fields() and in the
post-loop of filter_promisor_remote() so that lookups against the local
repo configuration use the right name.
