git-remote: list branches in vertical lists

Previously, branches were listed on a single line in each section. But
if there are many branches, then horizontal, line-wrapped lists are very
inconvenient to scan for a human. This makes the lists vertical, i.e one
branch per line is printed.

Since "git remote" is porcelain, we can easily make this
backwards-incompatible change.
