[PATCH v3 3/6] branch: add --prune-merged <remote>

["Harald Nordgren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

Delete the local branches that --forked <remote> would list,
refusing any whose tip is not reachable from its upstream
remote-tracking branch. With --force, delete unconditionally.
The currently checked-out branch in any worktree is always
preserved.

+`--prune-merged`::
+	Delete the local branches that `--forked` would list for
+	the same _<remote>_ arguments, but only when the branch's
+	push destination remote-tracking branch (the branch `git push`
+	would update; see `branch_get_push` semantics) no longer
+	resolves locally. In other words: the branch was pushed
+	under some name on _<remote>_, and that name has since
+	been pruned upstream.
++
+By default, the local tip must also be reachable from the
+upstream remote-tracking branch (see `--no-merged`); branches with
+unpushed commits are refused. With `--force` (or `-f`), delete
+them regardless. The currently checked-out branch in any worktree
+is always preserved.
