git-branch: change "upstream" --> "remote"

"upstream" is often used as a synonym for "remote", but we probably should avoid promoting that equivalence, since the terms "upstream" and "downstream" have specific meanings in the context of software dependency, which don't necessarily map with the meanings of "local" and "remote" in the context of computer networks in general (and distributed networks of git repositories in particular).
