[PATCH] branch doc: remove --set-upstream from synopsis

Support for the --set-upstream option was removed in 52668846ea (builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" option, 2017-08-17), after a long deprecation period.

Remove the option from the command synopsis for consistency. Replace another reference to it in the description of `--delete` with `--set-upstream-to`.

I noticed that --set-upstream was still in the synopsis for git branch. I don't think it was left there intentionally. I looked through the thread where support for the option was removed and didn't notice any comments suggesting otherwise[1]. With luck, I didn't miss the obvious while reading the thread.
