Make git-nav-upstream include the current branch name

Using just @{u} to navigate upstream breaks navigating back down when
the upstream reaches a non-local branch, e.g. origin/master. This is
because git branch walks the reflog for detached heads, and sees @{u}
instead of e.g. origin/master, and so tries to calculate HEAD@{u}
which fails. See also the message send to the git mailing list:

https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGRskv__Qe-F-grBtq5v-uhHE+BQAcAcOQtX-GKB+MNOrxs0hQ@mail.gmail.com/

This patch works around this by manually specifying the branch from
which we are calculating upstream, e.g. for branch foo we do
git checkout foo@{u} instead of just git checkout @{u}. This ensures
that the reflog has a valid entry (albeit still a relative one).
