[PATCH v4 21/28] git-prompt: prepare for reftable refs backend

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

From: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com>

In our git-prompt script we strive to use Bash builtins wherever
possible, because fork()-ing subshells for command substitutions and
fork()+exec()-ing Git commands are expensive on some platforms.  We
even read and parse '.git/HEAD' using Bash builtins to get the name of
the current branch [1].  However, the upcoming reftable refs backend
won't use '.git/HEAD' at all, but will write an invalid refname as
placeholder for backwards compatibility instead, which will break our
git-prompt script.

Update the git-prompt script to recognize the placeholder '.git/HEAD'
written by the reftable backend (its content is specified in the
reftable specs), and then fall back to use 'git symbolic-ref' to get
the name of the current branch.

[1] 3a43c4b5bd (bash prompt: use bash builtins to find out current
    branch, 2011-03-31)
