[PATCH v3 4/4] builtin/branch: strip refs/heads/ using skip_prefix

[Kaartic Sivaraam <kaartic.sivaraam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Instead of hard-coding the offset strlen("refs/heads/") to skip
the prefix "refs/heads/" use the skip_prefix() function which
is more communicative and verifies that the string actually
starts with that prefix.
