ls-remote: introduce --branches and deprecate --heads
We call the tips of branches "heads", but this command calls the option to show only branches "--heads", which confuses the branches themselves and the tips of branches. Straighten the terminology by introducing "--branches" option that limits the output to branches, and deprecate "--heads" option used that way. We do not plan to remove "--heads" or "-h" yet; we may want to do so at Git 3.0, in which case, we may need to start advertising upcoming removal with an extra warning when they are used.
