We have ways of setting the upstream information, but if we want to
unset it, we need to resort to modifying the configuration manually.

Teach branch an --unset-upstream option that unsets this information.

create_branch() uses install_branch_config() which may also set
branch.foo.rebase, so this version might leave some configuration
laying around.

I wonder if deleting the whole branch.foo section would be better. Can
we be sure that nothing else shows up there?

"branch.foo.$unknown" may not be related to upstream at all, so that
will not fly.  Besides, we already have unknown=description, no?

Ah yes, that exists. I've added a bit of code to also remove
branch.foo.rebase, which I'd also consider to be part of the upstream
information.
