We use strbuf_branchname() to expand the branch name from
the command line, so you can delete the branch given by
@{-1}, for example. However, we allow other nonsense like
"@", and we do not respect our "-r" flag (so we may end up
deleting an oddly-named local ref instead of a remote one).
We can fix this by passing the appropriate "allowed" flag to
strbuf_branchname().
