promisor-remote: skip move_to_tail when no-op

Previously, when promisor_remote_move_to_tail() is called for a promisor_remote which is currently the final element in promisors, a cycle is created in the promisors linked list. This cycle leads to a double free later on in promisor_remote_clear() when the final element of the promisors list is removed: promisors is set to promisors->next (a no-op, as promisors->next == promisors); the previous value of promisors is free()'d; then the new value of promisors (which is equal to the previous value of promisors) is also free()'d. This double-free error was unrecoverable for the user without removing the filter or re-cloning the repo and hoping to miss this edge case. Now, when promisor_remote_move_to_tail() would be a no-op, just do a no-op. In cases of promisor_remote_move_to_tail() where r is not already at the tail of the list, it works as before.
