Refactor "tracking statistics" code used by "git checkout"

People seem to like "Your branch is ahead by N commit" report made by
"git checkout", but the interface into the statistics function was a bit
clunky.  This splits the function into three parts:

 * The core "commit counting" function that takes "struct branch" and
   returns number of commits to show if we are ahead, behind or forked;

 * Convenience "stat formating" function that takes "struct branch" and
   formats the report into a given strbuf, using the above function;

 * "checkout" specific function that takes "branch_info" (type that is
   internal to checkout implementation), calls the above function and
   print the formatted result.

in the hope that the former two can be more easily reusable.
