"reject_rebase_or_bisect_branch()" was introduced [1] to prevent a branch under bisect or rebase from being renamed or copied. It traverses all worktrees in the repository and dies if the specified branch is being rebased or bisected in any them.

"replace_each_worktree_head_symref()" was introduced [2] to adjust the HEAD in all worktrees after a branch rename succeeded. It traverses all worktrees in the repository and if any of them have their HEAD pointing to the renamed ref, it adjusts it.

If we could know in advance if the renamed branch is not HEAD in any worktree we could avoid calling "replace_each_worktree_head_symref()".

Let's have "reject_rebase_or_bisect_branch()" check and return whether the specified branch is HEAD in any worktree, and use this information to avoid unnecessary calls to "replace_each_worktree_head_symref()".

  1.- 14ace5b (branch: do not rename a branch under bisect or rebase,
      2016-04-22)
  2.- 70999e9 (branch -m: update all per-worktree HEADs, 2016-03-27)
