Introduce the logical variable GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH which represents the
the default branch name that will be used by "git init".
Currently this variable is equivalent to
git config init.defaultbranch || 'master'
This however will break if at one point the default branch is changed as
indicated by `default_branch_name_advice` in `refs.c`.
By providing this command ahead of time users of git can make their
code forward-compatible.
