Add support for "custom remotes"
This will be helpful for the "ostree native container" work in https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree-rs-ext/ Basically in order to reuse GPG/signapi verification, we need to support adding a remote, even though it can't be used via `ostree pull`. (At least, not until we merge ostree-rs-ext into ostree, but even then I think the principle stands)
