for-each-ref: introduce %(HEAD) asterisk marker
'git branch' shows which branch you are currently on with an '*', but 'git for-each-ref' misses this feature. So, extend its format with %(HEAD) for the same effect. Now you can use the following format in for-each-ref: %(HEAD) %(refname:short) to display an asterisk next to the current ref.
