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 v2:
- fixed the commit message of 1/3 to no longer talk about :remote.
- used the push atom in 2/3, made the code look more as suggested by Junio.
- fixed the oneline of 2/3 to use a verb ("report").- butchered Junio's proposed documentation update for 2/3 to hopefully make the description of :remotename and :remoteref a lot clearer.
J Wyman (1): for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref name
Johannes Schindelin (2): for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote name for-each-ref: test :remotename and :remoteref

Has no effect if the ref does not have tracking information associated
with it. All the options apart from `nobracket` are mutually exclusive,
