branch: change default of `pager.branch` to "on"

This is similar to ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to
"on", 2017-08-02) and is safe now that we do not consider `pager.branch`
at all when we are not listing branches. This change will help with
listing many branches, but will not hurt users of `git branch
--edit-description` as it would have before the previous commit.
