for-each-ref: introduce %(upstream:track[short])

Introduce %(upstream:track) to display "[ahead M, behind N]" and
%(upstream:trackshort) to display "=", ">", "<", or "<>"
appropriately (inspired by contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh).

Now you can use the following format in for-each-ref:

  %(refname:short)%(upstream:trackshort)

to display refs with terse tracking information.

Note that :track and :trackshort only work with "upstream", and error
out when used with anything else.
