send-pack.c: move "no refs in common" abort earlier

Move the early return if we have no remote refs in send_pack() earlier. When this was added in 4c353e890c0 (Warn when send-pack does nothing, 2005-12-04) one of the first things we'd do was to abort, but as of cfee10a773b (send-pack/receive-pack: allow errors to be reported back to pusher., 2005-12-25) we've added numerous server_supports() conditions that are acted on later in the function, that won't be used if we don't have remote refs. Then as of 477673d6f39 (send-pack: support push negotiation, 2021-05-04) we started doing even more work on the assumption that we had some remote refs to feed to --negotiation-tip=* options. We only hit this condition if we have nothing to push, so we don't need to consider "push.negotiate" etc. only to do nothing with that information.
