Add preference `flag_defaults.remote`, refactor (#466)

This is a refactor of the code last touched in #458, making the control flow less backwards.

Additionally, this adds a preference `preferences.flag_defaults.remote` that allows to skip this heuristic and set a custom fixed default value for the `--remote` flag.
I'm not sure this is actually needed, I can revert that commit.
