[PATCH v4 3/3] branch: rename orphan branches in any worktree

In cfaff3aac (branch -m: allow renaming a yet-unborn branch, 2020-12-13) we added support for renaming an orphan branch, skipping rename_ref() if the branch being renamed is an orphan branch; checking the current HEAD.

However the branch to be renamed can be an orphan branch in a different worktree than the current one, i.e. not the current HEAD.

In "copy_or_rename_branch()" we are traversing the worktrees checking if the branch to be renamed is HEAD in any worktree. Let's include also a check for HEAD being NULL, which is the indication of an orphan branch, and use it to extend what we did in cfaff3aac, to all HEADs in the repository.
