Update ff script to clone upstream repository.   Once the web interface can clone a repository from URL, the ff script can be updated so that "ff init URL" just passes the URL to the web API and results in the cloned repository.   No temporary repository need be created on the users system to achieve this.

The behaviour of "ff init DIR" or a local URL is unaffected by this change.

Updates also should be supported this way, whether also using "init" or a new interface.

The project info reported by ff must include the URL of the upstream repository or file where the source was cloned from.
