[PATCH v7 0/3] branch: inherit tracking configs

[Josh Steadmon <steadmon@google.com>]

Changes since V6:
* Strip the refs/heads/ prefix in the verbose output when we have only a
  single upstream branch.
* Improve the fatal error message to note that rebasing is only
  incompatible with multiple upstream refs.
* Also note that `branch.<name>.remote` should be set in the manual
  recovery advice.
* Simplify the logic in setup_tracking() when no tracking sources match.
* Make the difference in test cases in t2027 more obvious.

Changes since V5:
* Greatly simplified BRANCH_CONFIG_VERBOSE output to not require nearly
  so many conditionals.
* Note that rebasing is not compatible with inheriting multiple upstream
  branches.
* Moved the change to case-sensitivity for branch.autosetupmerge to its
  own commit.
* Improve advice on failed tracking setup when multiple branches are
  involved.
* Make better use of string_list API.
* Make better use of config API.
* More straight-forward use of the `struct tracking` API.
* Numerous style fixes.

Changes since V4:
* Add new patch (1/2) to refactor branch.c:install_branch_config() to
  accept multiple upstream refs
* When multiple upstream branches are set in the parent branch, inherit
  them all, instead of just the first
* Break out error string arguments for easier translation
* Don't ignore case for values of branch.autosetupmerge
* Move reference to git-pull out of usage string for --track into
  git-branch.txt
* Use test_config instead of `git config` in t2027
* Style fixes: add single-quotes around warning string arguments, remove
  unnecessary braces

Changes since V3:
* Use branch_get() instead of git_config_get_string() to look up branch
  configuration.
* Remove unnecessary string formatting in new error message in
  parse-options-cb.c.
