Add git remote set-branches

Add ‘git remote set-branches’ for changing the list of tracked refs
for a remote repository with one "porcelain-level" command.  This
complements the longstanding ‘git remote add --track’ option.

The interface is based on the ‘git remote set-url’ subcommand.

   git remote set-branches base --add C
   git remote set-branches base A B D
   git remote set-branches base --delete D; # not implemented
