Subject: [PATCH] Speed up git prompt filtering

This increases performance of git prompt filter by fetching branch name directly from `.git/HEAD` file instead of spawning `git` process. Apart from increasing performance this may also solve potential problems with `git` output, as reported in https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/issues/692
