remote: die if branch is not found in repository

In a subsequent commit, we would like external-facing functions to be
able to accept "struct repository" and "struct branch" as a pair. This
is useful for functions like pushremote_for_branch(), which need to take
values from the remote_state and branch, even if branch == NULL.
However, a caller may supply an unrelated repository and branch, which
is not supported behavior.

To prevent misuse, add a die_on_missing_branch() helper function that
dies if a given branch is not from a given repository. Speed up the
existence check by replacing the branches list with a branches_hash
hashmap.

Like read_config(), die_on_missing_branch() is only called from
non-static functions; static functions are less prone to misuse because
they have strong conventions for keeping remote_state and branch in
sync.
