[PATCH 09/12] completion: let 'for-each-ref' filter remote branches for 'checkout' DWIMery

["SZEDER Gábor" <szeder.dev@gmail.com>]

The code listing unique remote branches for 'git checkout's tracking
DWIMery outputs only remote branches that match the current word to be
completed, but the filtering is done in a shell loop iterating over
all remote refs.

Let 'git for-each-ref' do the filtering, as it can do so much more
efficiently and we can remove that shell loop entirely.

This speeds up refs completion for 'git checkout' considerably when
there are a lot of non-matching remote refs to be filtered out.
Uniquely completing a branch in a repository with 100k remote
branches, all packed, best of five:

  On Linux, before:

    $ time __git_complete_refs --cur=maste --track

    real    0m1.993s
    user    0m1.740s
    sys     0m0.304s

  After:

    real    0m0.266s
    user    0m0.248s
    sys     0m0.012s

  On Windows, before:

    real    0m6.187s
    user    0m3.358s
    sys     0m2.121s

  After:

    real    0m0.750s
    user    0m0.015s
    sys     0m0.090s
