branch: use ref-filter printing APIs

Port branch.c to use ref-filter APIs for printing. This clears out
most of the code used in branch.c for printing and replaces them with
calls made to the ref-filter library.

Introduce build_format() which gets the format required for printing
of refs. Make amendments to print_ref_list() to reflect these changes.

The strings included in build_format() may not be safely quoted for
inclusion (i.e. it might contain '%' which needs to be escaped with an
additional '%'). Introduce quote_literal_for_format() as a helper
function which takes a string and returns a version of the string that
is safely quoted to be used in the for-each-ref format which is built
in build_format().

Change calc_maxwidth() to also account for the length of HEAD ref, by
calling ref-filter:get_head_discription().

Also change the test in t6040 to reflect the changes.

Before this patch, all cross-prefix symrefs weren't shortened. Since
we're using ref-filter APIs, we shorten all symrefs by default. We also
allow the user to change the format if needed with the introduction of
the '--format' option in the next patch.
