git-gui: use git-branch --show-current

git-gui relies upon the files back-end to determine the current branch.
This does not support the newer reftables backend.  But, git-branch has
long supported --show-current to get this same information regardless of
backend cahnged.  So teach git-gui to use git-branch --show-current.
