[11/16] parse_branchname_arg(): easier to understand variables

Commit Message

From: Alexandr Miloslavskiy <[e-mail]>

`dash_dash_pos` was only calculated under `opts->accept_pathspec`. This
is unexpected to readers and made it harder to reason about the code.
Fix this by restoring the expected meaning.

Simplify the code by dropping `argcount` and useless `argc` / `argv`
manipulations.

This should not change behavior in any way.
