[PATCHv3 6/7] submodule--helper: add remote-branch helper

From
Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>

<20160729004409.2072-1-sbeller@google.com>

In a later patch we want to enhance the logic for the branch selection. Rewrite the current logic to be in C, so we can directly use C when we enhance the logic.
