[PATCH] Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branches

Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a symbolic constant representing its type.

The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local branches or remote branches".

As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in print_ref_list() where it used.

Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the list creation was never freed. This is now done in the new function, tidy_ref_list()
