[autotest] Make push-to-prod sync more aggressive.
Before this CL, the push-to-prod git repo sync through build_externals
would try to 'pull' the relevant repos. This would fail to pull new
branches from the remote repo.
This CL re-works the sync code to make it more aggressive. It now goes
through the more reliable fetch-and-reset path.
While there: fix unittest for unset git_repo_url. There was duplicated
code that was obviously not testing the 'fetch' path at least.
BUG=chromium:476124
TEST=(1) Synced a new remote branch to an existing repo that used to
fail before this CL.
(2) (updated) unittests.
