interpret_branch_name: factor out upstream handling

This function checks a few different @{}-constructs. The
early part checks for and dispatches us to helpers for each
construct, but the code for handling @{upstream} is inline.

Let's factor this out into its own function. This makes
interpret_branch_name more readable, and will make it much
simpler to further refactor the function in future patches.

While we're at it, let's also break apart the refactored
code into a few helper functions. These will be useful if we
eventually implement similar @{upstream}-like constructs.
