Use custom local branch name as explicit remote user branch name for PR

In a scenario where onee has several parallel PRs, one needs to use
several local branches, and when updating PRs, _needs to provide PR
branch name explicitly_ each time (my-PR-name-* in the example):

  git checkout featureFoo
  [ edit session ]
  git commit
  ./g review my-PR-name-1
  git checkout featureBar
  [ edit session ]
  git commit
  ./g review my-PR-name-2

This changes the processing, so that when the user's local branch name
is different from the tracked branch name, it is treated as if user
used that name explicitly in a call:

  git checkout -b featureFoo origin/master
  git checkout -b featureBar origin/distro/collabora/co-6-4
  [ ... ]
  git checkout featureFoo
  [ edit session ]
  git commit
  ./g review # this uses "featureFoo" as implicit second argument
  git checkout featureBar
  [ edit session ]
  git commit
  ./g review # this uses "featureBar" as implicit second argument

so no need to remember which PR name was used where.
This only works for local branch names that are not equal to a remote
branch name, or to the last part (after last /) of any distro branch.
