create_branch() was formerly used to set tracking without creating a
branch. Since the previous commit replaces this use case with
setup_tracking(), we can simplify create_branch() so that it always
creates a branch.
Do this simplification, in particular:
* remove the special handling of BRANCH_TRACK_OVERRIDE because it is no
longer used
* assert that clobber_head_ok can only be provided with force
* check that we're handling clobber_head_ok and force correctly by
introducing tests for `git branch --force`
