Unset backport branch's remote from upstream (#85)

This way the user can easily commit and push further changes to the backport,
if needed, without having to remember to append their fork's remote name to
`git push`.

The branch sets the upstream as the remote during `git checkout -b`. This isn't
a useful default as we push the resulting backport to the user's fork anyway
and it is never intended to either merge further upstream changes nor to push
to upstream directly.
