git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming

Extend git-branch with the following options:

  git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch

The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.

This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.

Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.

Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.
