[PATCH v2 0/3] for-each-ref: add :remoteref and :remotename specifiers

This introduces support for
	git for-each-ref \
		--format="%(merge:remotename),%(merge:remoteref)"
	git for-each-ref \
		--format="%(push:remotename),%(push:remoteref)"

to figure out the remote nickname as well as the name of the corresponding branch on the remote.

Note: the `%(push:remotename)` placeholder is only interpolated by the value
of `branch.<name>.pushRemote`; unlike `git push`, it does not fall back to
`branch.<name>.remote`. Likewise, `%(push:remoteref)` interpolates to the
empty string unless `remote.<nick>.pushRefs` is configured.

This is useful for third-party tools that need to know this type of information for tons of branches.

Changes since v1:
- added the missing sign-offs
- removed a full stop from the end of the oneline of 2/3 (quite frankly, I am
  surprised I was not slammed for that in the first round of reviews ;-))
- fixed stale commit message parts that were leftovers from previous, internal
  review rounds
- moved the added git-for-each-ref.txt documentation into its own paragraph
- renamed the :remote-name and :remote-ref suffixes into the dashless form
  :remotename and :remoteref, following the example of :trackshort
- clarified the motivation for not DWIMming in the commit messages
- added fields `push` and `push_remote` to the atom to precompute whether we
  are talking about a `push` atom and whether it has a suffix starting with
  `remote`, respectively

Note that this last point actually fixes a bug when the user specified more than one suffix (`push:short,remotename`; even if that `short` has no effect, the `remotename` should).
