interpret_branch_name(): handle auto-namelen for @{-1}

The interpret_branch_name() function takes a ptr/len pair
for the name, but you can pass "0" for "namelen", which will
cause it to check the length with strlen().

However, before we do that auto-namelen magic, we call
interpret_nth_prior_checkout(), which gets fed the bogus
"0". This was broken by 8cd4249 (interpret_branch_name:
always respect "namelen" parameter, 2014-01-15).  Though to
be fair to that commit, it was broken in the _opposite_
direction before, where we would always treat "name" as a
string even if a length was passed.

You can see the bug with "git log -g @{-1}". That code path
always passes "0", and without this patch it cannot figure
out which branch's reflog to show.

We can fix it by a small reordering of the code.
