revsets: overload the branch() revset to also take a branch name.

This should only change semantics in the specific case of a tag/branch
conflict where the tag wasn't done on the branch with the same
name. Previously, branch(whatever) would resolve to the branch of the
tag in that case, whereas now it will resolve to the branch of the
name. The previous behaviour, while documented, seemed very
counter-intuitive to me.

An alternate approach would be to introduce a new revset such as
branchname() or namedbranch(). While this would retain backwards
compatibility, the distinction between it and branch() would not be
readily apparent to users. The most intuitive behaviour would be to
have branch(x) require 'x' to be a branch name, and something like
branchof(x) or samebranch(x) do what branch(x) currently
does. Unfortunately, our backwards compatibility guarantees prevent us
from doing that.

Please note that while 'hg tag' guards against shadowing a branch, 'hg
branch' does not. Besides, even if it did, that wouldn't solve the
issue of conversions with such tags and branches...
