Use configurable remote name for git commands (#35172)

Closes #19403, and makes it possible to use any remote name in code
snippets for an empty repository and pull request.
This change is very helpful to me, because I always use different name
for my gitea remote.

Uses setting config module to store the value. Default is `origin` for
backward compatibility.
