clone: drop dest parameter from copy_alternates()

Ever since the inception of this function in e6baf4a1ae (clone: clone
from a repository with relative alternates, 2011-08-22), the "dest"
parameter has been unused. Instead, we use add_to_alternates_file(),
which relies on git_pathdup() to find the right file. That in turn works
because we will have initialized and entered the destination repo by
this point.

It's a bit subtle, but this is how it has always worked. And if our
assumptions change, the test in t5601 from e6baf4a1ae should let us
know.

In the meantime, let's drop this unused and confusing parameter from
copy_alternates().
