d-m-{merge,debrebase}(7): Use an 'upstream/' tag prefix in gbp.conf
This is a useful convention to distinguish actual upstream tags from upstream tarball-representing tags created by the Debian package maintainer. Note that use of this convention is already recommended in section "Using untagged upstream commits". This is part of #932954. Signed-off-by: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>
