remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_info

After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to
print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the
tracking count). To do this, they have to access
branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the
return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we
have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we
make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream
name.

Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller
know the upstream name we found.

As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return
from the function. We no longer need to use it to
differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref
does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for
that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for
success/error.
