Show which branch a change request came from

A request records the exact commit under review, and the page showed only
that: `main ← 43f98bcd`. The branch the work is on is how people talk about
a change, fetch it, and find it after it lands, and it was being thrown
away when the request was opened — the web form resolved the chosen branch
to a commit and kept only the commit.

`request.md` now records `head_ref:` beside `head:`. It is a display hint
and nothing else: approvals, checks, the diff and the landing gate still
name the commit, and a test pins that a branch name cannot authorise a
different tip. The request page, the request list and `vole change show`
show it, and the page marks the branch as moved or deleted when it no
longer points at the reviewed commit, so the name reads as provenance
rather than as a claim about what is being reviewed.

It is optional on read: records written before it existed still load, and
a request opened from a bare commit id records no branch.
