bitbake: fetch2: raise an exception if user specifies protocol=git with http://

It is a common mistake to use http:// and protocol=git when attempting
to fetch from a git repository using the http protocol; if this is
detected then throw an error explaining that you need to use git:// with
protocol=http instead.
