[PATCH] Show [xxxx] suffix after non-"heads" branches in git-branch output

This patch changes from showing only those refs in "heads/" to all non-"tags/" refs.

For any ref that isn't a "heads/" ref (like "remotes/") a suffix of "[xxx]" is
added to the line.

This patch is in preference to my earlier "Use "up/" prefix for all the 
upstream branches" patch.  Junio pointed out that that patch wasn't necessary 
because git already supports the "--use-separate-remote" option.  This patch 
makes git-branch always show all the branches that are useable as references 
in tree-ish, but highlights the remote branches.
