"Compare" repo link should include the current branch/tag

[fregante]

1. Visit https://github.com/BrowserSync/browser-sync/tree/client-ts
2. Open repo tab "More" -> "Compare"
3. See a plain master -> master comparison: https://github.com/BrowserSync/browser-sync/compare

I'd expect that to include a reference to the current branch/commit/tag, like:

BrowserSync/browser-sync@master...client-ts

Maybe there's a better way, but I'm trying to see what changed between master and whatever branch I'm looking at.

This suggestion is similar to #966, but not just between tags.

The default branch can be determined via fetch, exactly like in #1173 is available via https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/blob/master/source/libs/get-default-branch.js

There's actually already a Compare link in the branches page, next to each branch: https://github.com/BrowserSync/browser-sync/branches

This page is one-click away for branches already, but tags don't have that.

I would love to see this for tags, I frequently want to see "what changed between version x and version y" and it's always painful, particularly since the branch/tag selector dropdown in the compare view doesn't include tags or bring them up via search.

That’s #966
