Custom transports may want to ask libgit2 to invoke a configured credential or certificate callback; however they likely do not know if a callback was actually configured. Return a sentinal value (GIT_PASSTHROUGH) if there is no callback configured instead of crashing.

I don't really mind. I hope you're going to fix it right here, but in any case I think it's easier to do so after your cleanup. #4042 is about ignoring a callback's presence in case |

Allow credential and certificate checking callbacks to return GIT_PASSTHROUGH, indicating that they do not want to act. Introduce this to support in both the http and ssh callbacks. Additionally, enable the same mechanism for certificate validation. This is most useful to disambiguate any meaning in the publicly exposed credential and certificate functions (`git_transport_smart_credentials` and `git_transport_smart_certificate_check`) but it may be more generally useful for callers to be able to defer back to libgit2.

With this, we want to define what

Credential callbacks are already defined to return> 0to defer these checks, but they were only inconsistently implemented (winhttp supported this, http and ssh transports did not). Add this support consistently to all transports for both credential callbacks and certificate checking.
