strbuf_check_ref_format(): expand only local branches
This function asks strbuf_branchname() to expand any @-marks in the branchname, and then we blindly stick refs/heads/ in front of the result. This is obviously nonsense if the expansion is "HEAD" or a ref in refs/remotes/. The most obvious end-user effect is that creating or renaming a branch with an expansion may have confusing results (e.g., creating refs/heads/origin/master from "@{upstream}" when the operation should be disallowed). We can fix this by telling strbuf_branchname() that we are only interested in local expansions. Any unexpanded bits are then fed to check_ref_format(), which either disallows them (in the case of "@{upstream}") or lets them through ("refs/heads/@" is technically valid, if a bit silly).
